Hi Eugenio,

Thanks for answering.
The first thing that I have done was looking into the official documentation, I know where I should put the different parameters, but the exact format isn't defined there.
I already tried a flat string (in the example above it would be: "showAgendapunten=false") as third parameter, but I didn't get the desired results. I also tried an object, object Array, string Array as third parameter, it all didn't work.

David.

Inside the project, there is an index.d.ts that should help your IDE to understand the types. Maybe your IDE is not configured in the riight way. Anyway, this the types: :

executeWebScript(httpMethod?: string, scriptPath?: string, scriptArgs?: any, contextRoot?: string, servicePat?: string, postBody?: string): Promise<{}>;

It will compose an URL like that:

http(s)://(host):smileysad:port)/(contextPath)/(servicePath)/(scriptPath)?(scriptArgs)

scriptArgs is an object like that:

vat myParams = {
myUrlVar: 'value1',
myUrlVarTwo: 'value2',
};
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So for example, if you use it:

this.alfrescoJsApi.core.webscriptApi.executeWebScript('GET', 'mytasks', myParams, 'share', 'differentServiceSlug');‍

It should invoke

http://127.0.01:8080/share/differentServiceSlug/mytasks?myUrlVar=value1&myUrlVarTwo=value2

Thank you, this works.
My IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) is configured the right way to show hints, but I couldn't make out what the 'any' type stands for.
