Hello, Can you please guide me how can i call my external get and post api from flows.js file? Thanks

Please rephrase your question. Or explain what you are trying to do.

I am trying to call some api which is in another portal i have from flows.js file . But i am not getting how should i write the syntax for calling get ,post and put api. please help me out.

which is in another portal i have from flows.js file . What do you mean with this ? Calling an API can be done with the http request node. See documentation "HTTP requests"

Watch this http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/node-red-http-request-node-beginners/ Then give it a go. If you get stuck, ask a specific question (in this thread - don't start another thread) & post screenshots and your flow & we will help you.

[Capture] I am trying to call my api like this but could not getting how can i do?? Getting an error. Can you please help?

What error? Please show the error

Am I right in assuming you’re working with a custom version of Node-RED, either one already customised or one that you’re modifying yourself for your own needs. Answering from mind, the post function you’re in looks like it’s an express route resolving function, which means NodeJS code. Your code starting with $.post is jquery, clientside. It might work on the editor side from say the configuration of a node, but can you verify first if the file you’re editing is serverside or clientside? [image] dhpatel177: Getting an error. What error? We can’t help if we don’t know what error it is.

Did you watch the video? Just put a http request node on the node-red editor. Inject > http request > debug I don't understand why you are inside the core node-red source code?
