This could be done one of 3 ways:
1. The Electric flow REST API function could be changed into a `Step` rather than implementing a `SimpleBuildStep` since the Simple build step does not allow for return values. This would mean writing a custom step which will send out the API call and then return the response from the Electric Flow server into a groovy variable
2. This REST API could be converted into a block-scoped Step (or SimpleBuildWrapper) and then the response could be captured inside of an Environment variable which is able to be used later inside of the pipeline.
3. https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-29144 could be fixed and a SimpleBuildStep could be used to create the same environment variable in #2

For 1 this would look like:

 
                                                                def returnOut = step([$class: 'ElectricFlowGenericRestApi',
            configuration: 'CBFConfiguration',
            urlPath : '/projects',
            httpMethod : 'POST',
            body : '',
            parameters : [
                [$class: 'Pair',
                    key: 'projectName',
                    value: 'EC-TEST-Jenkins-1.00.00.01'
                ],
                [$class: 'Pair',
                    key: 'description',
                    value: 'Native Jenkins Test Project'
                ]
            ]
    ])
 
                                                            

and that returnOut would be a groovy variable and able to be used anywhere else

For 2 and 3 there would be a general ENV variable called something like `REST_API_OUPUT` which is set on the return and then that can be used in the pipeline with `$env.REST_API_OUTPUT`
