pjs.sendRequest()

pjs.sendRequest is deprecated. Please use pjs.httpRequest() for new development.

Examples

Example of General Use

//Simple
var result = pjs.sendRequest("post", "http://website.com/myJSONAPI", {key: 'value'});
 
//Advanced, using request API options
result = pjs.sendRequest({
      method: "POST",
      uri: "http://website.com/myJSONAPI",
      body: {key: 'value'},
      json: true,
	  timeout: 5000,
      time: true
});

Always Read Body

The default behavior of pjs.sendRequest is to interpret the response as an error if the remote API returns an HTTP status code >= 400, in which case response body data is not passed to the Profound.js program. Instead, an error is thrown.

Some APIs return useful information back in the response body even when then response code is >= 400. To read the body even when the response code is >= 400, supply the "alwaysReadBody" property to the argument object.

"alwaysReadBody" is available in PJS version 5.8.6 and later.
