How to use web api method POST in BIRT

[raviprsd18]

Hello Team,

I am currently exploring the possibility of using the web API POST method with BIRT APIs. Could any one kindly guide me on how to achieve this?

For example, I am looking to implement the following code snippet in BIRT using its APIs:

var result = "";

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
const body = JSON.stringify({
userId: 1,
title: "Fix my bugs",
completed: false
});
xhr.onload = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 201) {
result = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
} else {
result = xhr.status;
}
};
xhr.send(body);

If you could provide a sample code or any relevant resources, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Long story short, you cannot use "xhr"-object because this is an object which comes from the JS-engine from the browser.
The core of BIRT works with ECMAScript and there isn't all options from JS-engines implemented because EMCAScript is the server-oriented version of JavaScript.

But yes, it is possible to use REST-apis and here you have to use Java-methods.
I created an API-report based on a BIRT report and implemented also the response handling of XML-messages an so on.
