  Hi Raghav,

   

  Are you talking about adding third party libraries?

   

  Which version of Geocortex Viewer are you using?

   

  Regards,

  Hi there, to add weight to this request, I too would like to find some documentation or understanding how to call 3rd party APIs from within a geocortex workflow.   I am using the latest Essentials 4.9

  The exact requirements/method are going to different depending on what kind of data your api returns, and how that relates back to your map/data.  

   

  As an example though, if you have a simple REST api that returns some JSON, you can use the WebRequest activity in a workflow.  There's an sample for this activity in the workflow sample site that ships with Essentials ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\Workflow_Samples\Resources\Workflows\Common Server\WebRequest.xaml")

   

  Then you can use the GetTextFromBytes activity to convert the bytes returned into a string, and use that string in the GetJSONValue or JSONToDictionary activity to find the actual values that you want from the JSON.
