Hi All,

Can someone explain me if we can make rest api call from javascript use api with an example?

Also, we are using reactJS to make a call to backend, can we achieve the same with javascript use api and should we use reactJS only?

Thanks

Madhu

A better approach is to use WCMUsePojo with HTL to make a Restful call to a 3rd party service - as explained here: Creating an Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 HTL Component that displays data from a Restful Web Service

But this will be a server call right? My requirement is to make client calls like react JS do. Any best approach then using reactjs???

If you requirement is to make a call on the client - then you can use react to make a rest call. This could be done in script file located in a client lib. See this thread for more information -- json - Making REST calls from a react component - Stack Overflow

Having said that - if the requirement is to make a call to a Restful web service - like a Google service - and display the result set in a component -- its better to make the call on the server using Java/WCMUsePojo - as shown in the above article.

JS USE API is still a server call right?
