External APIs in scripting

Use scripting to call external APIs and fetch data from other sources.

Scripting runtime uses a node-fetch package on the back end to provide this functionality. The fetch method exposed to scripts has the same API as defined in the node-fetch package. Refer to the node-fetch API documentation for more details.

You can use the fetch method directly in your scripts without explicitly importing node-fetch module.

const response = await fetch('https://github.com/');
const body = await response.text();
console.log(body);
