Calling External API with Javascript

Question

I need to make a POST request to an external server from my webpage using Javascript. The body and response are both json. I can\'t figure out how to make this call or what tool

Answer 1

If you use jquery, use .post, or .ajax, to submit

$.post(url, data, callbackSuccess, callbackError);

more about these methods here http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

example:

var url = 'http://example.com/path/endpoint';

$.post(url, {name: 'Darlan', lastname: 'Mendonça'}, function(response){
    // callback success
}, function(response) {
    // callback error
});
