Re: Consuming RESTful APIs from RPG/COBOL ILE

If you're in to doing something new, Python, Rudy, Node, PHP, Java and C# can all be used to consume REST APIs and pipe the data to an IFS file or PF for consumption.

For .Net and Python I have provided CL command wrappers on github that make it drop dead simple.

Hi,



We are making a list of options for *consuming* RESTful APIs from an
RPG or COBOL ILE program. I am hoping to get help building the list.



Here are options on our list so far:



1. HTTPFunctions in SYSTOOLS. Right now this is the top of our list,
but things can change.



1. IWS. Tim Rowe recently pointed out that IWS can consume RESTful
web services as well as expose them.



1. HTTPAPI utility. I found this on Scott Klement?s website (
