RestLet - Retrieve Data (Basic)

Introduction#

This sample shows the basic structure of a RESTlet script that is intended to be used to retrieve data from an external system. RESTlets are endpoints that are created to allow communication with external systems.

Retrieve Customer Name

/**
 * requestdata - the data packet expected to be passed in by external system
 * JSON - data format exchange
 * stringify() convert javascript object into a string with JSON.stringify()
 * nlobjError - add in catch block to log exceptions
 */

function GetCustomerData(requestdata)
{
    var jsonString = JSON.stringify(requestdata);
    nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'JSON', jsonString);

    try
    {
        var customer = requestdata.customer;
        nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'customer', customer);
    }
    catch (err)
    {
        var errMessage = err;
        if(err instanceof nlobjError)
        {
            errMessage = errMessage + ' ' + err.getDetails() + ' ' + errMessage;
        }
        nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Error', errMessage);
    }
}
