SuiteScript API Integration

Integrating External APIs

SuiteScript API integration uses N/http for third-party calls.

Introduction to N/http Module

The N/http module in SuiteScript is essential for making HTTP requests to third-party services. It allows developers to integrate external APIs into NetSuite applications, facilitating operations like data retrieval, updates, and more. The module supports various HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

Making a GET Request

GET requests are typically used to retrieve data from an external server. The following example demonstrates how to use the N/http module to perform a GET request to a mock API.

Handling Errors in HTTP Requests

Proper error handling is crucial in HTTP requests. The N/http module provides detailed error information that can be leveraged to debug and handle exceptions gracefully.

Using POST Requests for Data Submission

POST requests are used to send data to a server. Here is an example demonstrating how to perform a POST request using the N/http module in SuiteScript.

Conclusion

The N/http module is a powerful tool for integrating third-party APIs with SuiteScript. By understanding how to make and handle requests, developers can extend NetSuite's capabilities and integrate it seamlessly with external systems.
