How is a REST API call made using Avaloq Script?

A REST API call in Avaloq Script is made using built-in functions such as "http.get()" or "http.post()". These functions are specifically designed to facilitate communication with RESTful services by allowing developers to send and receive HTTP requests easily.

The "http.get()" function is typically used for retrieving information from a specified URL, while "http.post()" is used for sending data to a server. By utilizing these built-in functions, developers can manage request headers, handle response formats, and interact with various APIs efficiently, aligning with the REST architectural style.

In contrast, other methods such as using direct socket communication are more low-level approaches and not part of the Avaloq Script capabilities for interacting with web services. Additionally, the notion of using only synchronous calls limits the flexibility of handling network requests, as asynchronous programming is often required for managing API calls without blocking the execution of other tasks. The fetch() method is commonly associated with JavaScript and is not applicable within the context of Avaloq Script, which utilizes its specific set of functions for HTTP communication.
