How to call REST api using Javascript in Designer?

I want to first check if the Rest api is online or offline before actually submitting the form to the same. How can I do that using javascript in Forms Designer?

You can call the Rest API from the NET.HTTP object.

Thanks Thom for the inputs. Can you please share a sample code of the same so that I can try?

This is something you'll need to setup yourself. The NET.HTTP object provides functionality for making raw HTTP Requests.  It's a matter of setting the request parameters to match the Rest API.

You can also use the FormCalc functions to call a web service and I've an example with this sample Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Calling a RESTful web service from a PDF form.  Which also shows how to call FormCalc functions from JavaScript.

You get some do you trust this... sort of security messages, but you can select remember decision.
