Script.Util.HttpGet

Convenience function for simple HTTP GET requests — returns the response body as a string without requiring an HttpRequest object.

Script.Util.HttpGet is a lightweight wrapper for HTTP GET requests. It sends a GET to the specified URL and returns the response body as a string. No Platform.Load is required.

For full control over headers, timeouts, and status code inspection, use Script.Util.HttpRequest instead.

Syntax

var body = Script.Util.HttpGet(url);

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
url string Yes Target URL

Return Value

Returns the response body as a string. Throws on connection failure. Does not expose the HTTP status code.

Examples

Fetch JSON data

var body = Script.Util.HttpGet("https://api.example.com/items");
var items = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(body + "");
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    Write(items[i].name + "<br>");
}

Fetch and render a remote snippet

var content = Script.Util.HttpGet("https://cdn.example.com/snippets/footer.html");
Write(content);

Notes

  • Does not support custom request headers. Use Script.Util.HttpRequest if you need to set Authorization or other headers.
  • Does not expose the HTTP status code. If the server returns a non-2xx response, the error body is returned as the string — with no indication of failure.
  • Available in all SSJS execution contexts without Platform.Load.
