This is a Tasker plugin offering different interface to access RESTful APIs (targeting GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).

This app is intended to work as a plugin to Tasker and does not present a launcher icon so one will must have Tasker installed in order to make the most of this software.

*README*

Variables can be set synchronously or asynchronously.

With the default sync setting, the duty will wait until the request is finished or is timed-out earlier than executing the following process and you will be able to set the return code/response to local variables. Note that in synced mode you presumably can solely set native variables, i.e., variables with all lower-cased letters, it is a limitation of tasker API.

However, in async mode, the task will end immediately and work in the background so that you will not be able to set native variables in it (you can nonetheless use local variables for the parameters and stuff). With this mode, you'll have the ability to solely set international variables as native variables will not be accessible to different tasks. Following is tips on how to allow setting international variables in async mode:

1. To allow world variable set, you must enable 'Allow External Access' in Tasker ( menu - desire - misc - Allow External Access')

2. Return variables identify must be global (with a minimum of one capital letter) as a outcome of it is set asynchronously in a unique process and received't be accessible whether it is set as a neighborhood variable.

3. Since the request is carried out asynchronously, returned code/response may not be out there instantly. If you wish to capture the returned code/response, you'll find a way to set an action to 'Wait Until' the variable 'is set'. But remember to clear the variable beforehand as a end result of these variables are global and can stay after tasks finished..

Cookies

The cookies will be found within the %hdr_set_cookie variable in case your response header variable prefix is ready to %hdr. If there are multiple Set-Cookie headers they may stored in the identical variable separated by newlines.

Special thanks to Arno Puder for helping me take a look at the app.
