#Vscode http client code#

This extension helps RDP APIs developers (either who use the REST API directly or RDP Libraries) with Visual Studio Code to implement application a smooth and seamless workflow. Developers do not need to switch a tool for a quick REST API query test anymore. However, this VSCode: REST Client extension lets developers who are using this editor do a quick REST API test call such as test various API query parameters, test new Service URL, or test different credentials in the same tool that they are developing the application. The Postman is a complete platform for API testing and development so it has many more features than this extension. You may think 'why would I bother to use this extension when I already have a Postman'. The basic syntax is very simple as following The REST Client plugin requires just a plain text file with extensionВ .httpВ orВ .rest. Please find more detail regarding RDP APIs workflow in Introduction to the Request-Response API page. Please notice the spaceВ between the BearerВ and RDP Access TokenВ values. The application needs to input Access Token via AuthorizationВ HTTP request message header as shown below.

Next, after the application received the Access Token (an authorization token) from RDP Auth Service, all subsequent REST API calls will use this token to get the data. The first step of an application work flow is to get a token from RDP Auth Service, which will allow access to the protected resource, i.e.

Refinitiv Data Platform entitlement check is based on OAuth 2.0 specification. This article is focusing on the Request - Response: RESTful web service delivery method only.ДЇor more detail regarding Refinitiv Data Platform, please see the Quick StartВ and TutorialsВ pages.

Streaming: deliver real-time delivery of messages.

Bulks: deliver substantial payloads, like the end of day pricing data for the whole venue.

Alert: delivery is a mechanism to receive asynchronous updates (alerts) to a subscription.

Request - Response: RESTful web service (HTTP GET, POST, PUT or DELETE).

The RDP APIs delivery mechanisms are following: RDP APIs give developers seamless and holistic access to all of Refinitiv content such as Historical Pricing, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG), News, Research, etc and commingled with their own content, enriching, integrating and distributing the data through a single interface, delivered wherever they need it. The Refinitiv Data Platform (RDP) APIsВ provide various Refinitiv data and content for developers via easy to use Web base API. What is Refinitiv Data Platform (RDP) APIs? Note: RDP APIs developers are still need RDP APIs Playground pageВ to get the APIs document and information. Developers who currently use VSCode implement the RDP APIs application (with any languages) can use this extension to test the RDP APIs query, endpoint without switch to other tools like PostmanВ or cURL.

#Vscode http client how to#

This article demonstrates how to use the REST Client extension in VSCode by using Refinitiv Data Platform (RDP) APIsВ as an example HTTP REST API.

One of the most recent extension is REST ClientВ allows developers send HTTP request and view the response message in VSCode directly. VSCode also supports a lot of extensions which extends the editor features and development workflow such as code linters or add new language support, etc. This cross-platform editor took over developers popularity based on it fast and lightweight, supports variety of programming languages with IntelliSense (a feature that borrows from its sibling, Visual Studio IDE) and supports a complete development operations like debugging, task running and version control.
