# Invoking Plugins and API from Dynamo

## **Connecting Plugins With Dynamo**

FormIt 2022.1 and newer offers access to JavaScript APIs and custom functions from Dynamo via two new nodes:

### **CallJSAPI** <a href="#calljsapi" id="calljsapi"></a>

The **CallJSAPI** node allows you to invoke FormIt JavaScript APIs directly from Dynamo.

For function names and parameters, take a look at our JavaScript documentation, which is divided into two parts: [FormIt API](https://formit3d.github.io/FormItExamplePlugins/docs/FormItJSAPI/group__mod__jsapi__formit.html) and [WSM API](https://formit3d.github.io/FormItExamplePlugins/docs/FormItJSAPI/group__mod__jsapi__wsm.html) (modeling kernel).

### **CallPluginJS** <a href="#callpluginjs" id="callpluginjs"></a>

Conversely, the **CallPluginJS** node allows you to invoke custom functions from a loaded plugin, or a script snippet that's been executed from the Script Editor window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://windows.help.formit.autodesk.com/plugins/how-to-develop-plugins/additional-development-options/invoking-plugins-and-api-from-dynamo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
