Making HTTP requests from an integration

Libraries

In order to make HTTP requests to other Arc XP services or third parties, you must use a library. There are many options available, but for our purposes we prefer and use Axios. Axios is a Promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

You must install Axios and include it as a dependency. You can find an example of how to use it at the Axios docs.

Promises

Writing asynchronous code can get confusing. Using Promises is a great advantage when dealing with code that requires a more complicated chain of events. See Async/Await: The Hero JavaScript Deserved.
