Can I call a V2 API url in Javascript?

I want to make a call to the Lithium API via Javascript. I know I can do it with V1; can I do with with V2 as well? 

Something like 

"/restapi/2.0/search?q="SELECT * FROM messages WHERE labels.text IN ('Jupiter')"

 I want to be able to select messages by tag.id or tag.text (preferably id, if possible), called from Javascript.

    Yes, you can make a V2 hit from JS also. But URL will be like this
    For stage

     

    https://api.stage.lithium.com/community/2.0/<tenant_id>/search?q=SELECT+*+FROM+messages+LIMIT+1&api.pretty_print=true&client-id=xxxxxxxxxx

     

    For production

    https://api.lithium.com/community/2.0/<tenant_id>/search?q=SELECT+*+FROM+messages+LIMIT+1&api.pretty_print=true&client-id=LFE0UbsMFc9uDhsZLu03q77KZZjO78svnKTGyT6FDRs=

    Client id can be generated from App under Admin > System > API Apps 


    For authentication, you may need to pass the session id also which can be generated using below API by passing username and password

    Lithium introduced endpoints to get it done.

    Hi Inactive User ,

    Yes this is a thing. I myself do them all the time. To be able to do this from a page on your community you can use the URL above. I, however, use this one;

    https://<community_domain>/<community_id>/api/2.0/search?q=

    The bit after the *q* parameter has to be encoded using the encodeURIComponent() in Javascript.

     

    Sources:

    API V2 Documentation

    Mozilla Developer - EncodeURIComponent
