Hi S, Are you trying to implement this as a Javascript Macro <http://tiddlywiki.com/dev/#JavaScript%20Macros>? Have you looked in the develop console to see what error you're actually getting?
I'm currently trying to write a TiddlyWiki plugin that calls an API but have had difficulties because the Javascript runs in the browser it is subject to the Same Origin Policy and so unless the API you are calling supports CORS your requests will be rejected by the browser. The reason Firefox addons can make such requests is because addons are extensions to the browser itself and therefore can have special privileges to ignore CORS restrictions that the browser would enforce on normal web pages. TiddlyWiki can be run as a node server and server-side code is not subject to CORS restrictions so you can call whatever APIs you want. However there are other open source projects designed specifically to be API test beds. You might want to look at Swagger UI <http://swagger.io/swagger-ui/>. You can test it out using the Swagger Editor <http://editor.swagger.io/#/>.
