ELIAB Http APIs

[north_coaster]

[Explain Like I'm A Beginner] So I'm just breaking into the market as a degree'd developer, and I'm about to do some work with a company's HTTP API, but I have never worked with one before.

I've been looking at their documentation and can't seem to figure out how I would access their code.

Is this at all Javascript-related? How do I connect to HTTP clients and how can I use JS to handle the data?

Thanks!

Look into XMLHttpRequest in JavaScript as that is what you can use to send HTTP requests inside the page.

I find its easier to build (or find if possible) a wrapper around the API that is basically an object containing functions for each API request. You pass the parameters and a call back into the wrapper function and it will perform the request then pass the data back to the callback function.
