Hello community
I am new to Xojo and was able to attend the MBS2024 conference in Germany last week. On the training day we had a nice example of how to call a REST API from a desktop app. I was able to reproduce and extend this in my desktop projects.
Now my question: I did not find the same component in the library in Xojo web projects. Is it still possible to call a REST API in web projects?

Could you tell us more about what components you need ?
We have used the “URLConnection” in the Desktop App to receive data from a REST API.
Exists a simlar component as “URL Connection” for the Web Apps?
Yes, URLConnection is available in Xojo Web too.
Maybe Xojo could add some URLConnection examples for Web as it seems that only Desktop and Android are available (doing a URLConnection search on the Examples).
Thank you for the hint.
As I didn’t see the control in the library to drag and drop to a webpage, I worked like this: Added a new class with super “URLConnection”. So now the class appears in my project and i can drag and drop it to a webpage and can use it the same way as in the desktop-project.
Thanks for your support.
A Web App can ever receive a URLConnection from itself. I have used this for a demo WebApp.
