Kintone REST API Request
The Kintone REST API Request allows you to run Kintone REST APIs from your JavaScript code.
You'll find that you are limited to several actions when just completely relying on the JavaScript API - for example, you'll need to use the Kintone REST API if you need to retrieve data of all the records inside your app.
This is where you will use the Kintone REST API Request, to run the REST API.
It is not necessary to specify request headers when using this API.
