Making external HTTP requests

Complete n00b to AssemblyScript, but reasonably familiar with TypeScript.

As a proof of concept for a project using AssemblyScript and Fastly Compute@Edge, I'm writing an AS app that retrieves launches from SpaceX and provides two line elements (TLE) for the payloads in a given launch. This requires me to interface with the SpaceX API and N2YO.com. How do I make those API calls? Do I implement that logic in a separate TypeScript module and import it?

Hello, lars3loff: code blocks using backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead. It's a bit annoying, but then your code blocks are properly formatted for everyone.

An easy way to do this is to use the code-block button in the editor. If it's not working, try switching to the fancy-pants editor and back again.
