Integration in Business Central & Read JSON Data and store in Table : Using Http

Hi Readers,

In this article will see how we can create connection with external application using  HTTP and read the Json data & store it in business central.

In this scenario, if i will enter the ID then it will fill all the related details by getting information from third party application.

Step-(1) Firstly i have created the table and call the procedure on OnValidate trigger.

table 50102 "User Details API"
{
    DataClassification = ToBeClassified;

    fields
    {
        field(1; ID; Integer)
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
            trigger OnValidate()
            var
                JsonReadAndWrite_CU: Codeunit "Json Write";

            begin
                JsonReadAndWrite_CU.JsonReadAndWrite(Rec);
            end;
        }
        field(2; Name; Text[50])
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
        }
        field(3; "User Name"; Text[50])
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
        }
        field(4; "Email"; Text[50])
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
        }
        field(5; "Street"; Text[50])
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
        }
        field(6; "Suite"; Text[50])
        {
            DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
        }
    }

    keys
    {
        key(PK; ID)
        {
            Clustered = true;
        }
    }
}

Step-(2) Then i have created the page which basically used to interact with user & see the output.

page 50103 "User Details API"
{
    PageType = List;
    ApplicationArea = All;
    UsageCategory = Lists;
    SourceTable = "User Details API";

    layout
    {
        area(Content)
        {
            repeater(List)
            {
                field(ID; ID) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                field(Name; Name) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                field("User Name"; "User Name") { ApplicationArea = All; }
                field(Email; Email) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                field(Street; Street) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                field(Suite; Suite) { ApplicationArea = All; }
            }
        }
    }
}

Step-(3) Now finally i have create a function which makes the connection using HTTP and get data from external application & store in Business Central table.

 Procedure JsonReadAndWrite(Var UserDetailsAPI: Record "User Details API")
    var
        UrlPath: Text;
        HttpClientVar: HttpClient;
        HttpResponseVar: HttpResponseMessage;
        HttpContentVar: HttpContent;
        Result: Text;
        //Method2
        HttpRequest: HttpRequestMessage;
        Output: Text;
        JObject: JsonObject;
        JToken: JsonToken;
        NewJObject: JsonObject;

    begin
        UrlPath := 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/' + Format(UserDetailsAPI.ID);
        HttpClientVar.Get(UrlPath, HttpResponseVar);
        if HttpResponseVar.IsSuccessStatusCode then begin
            HttpContentVar := HttpResponseVar.Content;
            HttpContentVar.ReadAs(Result);
            // Message(Result);

            //To store the content in Json Object
            JObject.ReadFrom(Result);
            JObject.Get('name', JToken);
            UserDetailsAPI.Name := JToken.AsValue().AsText();
            JObject.Get('email', JToken);
            UserDetailsAPI.Email := JToken.AsValue().AsText();
            JObject.Get('username', JToken);
            UserDetailsAPI."User Name" := JToken.AsValue().AsText();
            JObject.Get('address', JToken);
            if JToken.IsObject then begin
                JToken.WriteTo(Output);
                NewJObject.ReadFrom(Output);
                NewJObject.Get('street', JToken);
                UserDetailsAPI.Street := JToken.AsValue().AsText();
                NewJObject.Get('suite', JToken);
                UserDetailsAPI.Suite := JToken.AsValue().AsText();
            end else
                Message('Json Token is not found as Json Object.');

        end else
            Message('Connection not Established..Status Code is %1 & Reason is %2', HttpResponseVar.HttpStatusCode, HttpResponseVar.ReasonPhrase);
    end;

Output:-
