Have any one been able to able to call an external API from Forge Custom UI.

I was able to achieve the same in UI Kit. However with Custom UI so far I am only able to make Jira internal API calls…

Any code samples would be really appreaciated.

Thanks,
Majo

Without code examples of your problem it might be difficult to troubleshoot.

This is a custom UI example that fetches the atlassian.com website. No changes were made to the static/ section.

// src/index.js
import Resolver from '@forge/resolver';
import api from '@forge/api';

const resolver = new Resolver();

resolver.define('getText', async (req) => {
  const txt = await api.fetch("https://www.atlassian.com").then(res => res.text());
  console.log(txt);

  return txt;
});

export const handler = resolver.getDefinitions();
