RESTask for Tasker
Opt in for beta testing:https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.freehaha.restaskThis is a Tasker plugin providing alternative interface to accessRESTful APIs (targeting GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).This app is intended to work as a plugin to Tasker and does notprovide a launcher icon so one must have Tasker installed in orderto utilize this application.*README*Variables can be set synchronously or asynchronously.With the default sync setting, the task will wait until the requestis finished or is timed-out before executing the next task and youwill be able to set the return code/response to local variables.Note that in synced mode you can only set local variables, i.e.,variables with all lower-cased letters, this is a limitation oftasker API.However, in async mode, the task will finish immediately and workin the background so you will not be able to set local variables init (you can still use local variables for the parameters andstuff). With this mode, you can only set global variables as localvariables will not be accessible to other tasks. Following is howto enable setting global variables in async mode:1. To enable global variable set, you have to enable 'AllowExternal Access' in Tasker ( menu -> preference -> misc ->Allow External Access')2. Return variables name should be global (with at least onecapital letter) because it is set asynchronously in a differenttask and will not be accessible if it is set as a localvariable.3. Since the request is performed asynchronously, returnedcode/response might not be available immediately. If you want tocapture the returned code/response, you can set an action to 'WaitUntil' the variable 'is set'. But remember to clear the variablebeforehand because these variables are global and will remain aftertasks finished..---CookiesThe cookies will be found in the %hdr_set_cookie variable if yourresponse header variable prefix is set to %hdr. If there aremultiple Set-Cookie headers they will stored in the same variableseparated by newlines.---Feel free to leave comments or send email to me if you have anysuggestions to improve this application.Special thanks to Arno Puder for helping me test the app.
