Method Detail

• static def apiFetch(URL api_url, Map http_headers = [:], String http_method = 'GET', String data = '')

  apiFetch() can be used to submit HTTP commands common to REST APIs. If http_headers does not contain a Content-Type header, then application/json is assumed.

  Parameters:

  api_url - A URL of a REST endpoint in which to make an HTTP call.

  http_headers - HTTP headers to pass as part of the HTTP request. By default only Content-Type: application/json HTTP header will be set.

  http_method - The HTTP method or action to request from the server. Currently supported methods include: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH.

  Returns:

  If Content-Type HTTP header is application/json, then one of two types will be returned: HashMap or ArrayList (for JSON Object and JSON Array respectively). If any other Content-Type HTTP header used then a String will be returned and it will be left up to the caller to parse the result.
