SuiteScript N/http Module

Using N/http Module

SuiteScript N/http module makes HTTP requests to external APIs.

Introduction to SuiteScript N/http Module

The SuiteScript N/http module is an essential tool for developers working within the NetSuite environment. It allows you to make HTTP requests to external APIs, enabling integration with third-party services. This module provides functions to send GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, among others. Understanding how to leverage this module can greatly enhance your SuiteScript solutions.

Loading the N/http Module

To use the N/http module in your SuiteScript, you need to load it as a dependency in your script. This is typically done using the define function in SuiteScript 2.0.

Making a GET Request

The http.get() function is used to make a GET request. This function requires a URL and optionally, a headers object to include any necessary headers.

Making a POST Request

The http.post() function allows you to send data to an external API. You need to provide the URL, the data to be sent, and any necessary headers.

Handling HTTP Responses

When you make an HTTP request using the N/http module, the response object contains useful information such as the response code, headers, and body. You can access these properties to handle the response appropriately.

Error Handling in HTTP Requests

Proper error handling is crucial when dealing with external APIs. You should anticipate potential issues such as network errors, invalid responses, or server-side errors. The N/http module provides mechanisms to handle these situations gracefully.
