Getting data
To get data, you can use ScriptService class and its method httpgetasjson
service.httpgetasjson(<url>, <userid>, <headers>, <password>)Sample:
from com.ibm.json.java import JSONObject, JSONArray
# Invoking an URL
url = "https://www.example.com/"
userid = ekishimoto
passwd = 12345678
# Invoke URL
response = service.httpgetasjson(url, userid, None, passwd)
status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()
obj = JSONArray.parse(response.getEntity().getContent())
if status == 200:
# OK
else:
# error

Posting data
To send data, you can use ScriptService class and its method httppostasjson
service.httppostasjson(<url>, <userid>, <password>, <headers>, <json>)Sample:
from com.ibm.json.java import JSONObject, JSONArray
# create a JSON object
jsonObject = JSONObject()
jsonObject.put("equipment", mbo.getString("ASSETNUM"))
jsonObject.put("description", mbo.getString("DESCRIPTION"))
# Invoking an URL
url = "https://www.example.com/"
userid = None
passwd = None
# Invoke URL
response = service.httppostasjson(url, userid, passwd, None, jsonObject)
status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()
obj = JSONArray.parse(response.getEntity().getContent())
if status == 200:
