How can I read APIs and process then in a stand-alone Visual Basic 2013 application. I need to get xml or text files returned
One answer
Please read https://jazz.net/library/article/635 and play with a REST client in the browser first.
REST APIs are web pages, but not simple WEB UI pages you POST requests.
I don't understand your information. You either use a browser (and a REST client in it like POSTMAN see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/give-me-a-rest/ ) or you use a HTTP client in VB.
When you get back "Javascript is either disabled or not available in your Browser" you definitely have the wrong URL or the wrong way of GETing or POSTing.

What API's the products provide will limit if you can access it with what you have available. If you ask about Rational Quality Manager and Doors Next API's there are pretty much only REST based API's that you can access using HTTP.
If you don't ask about those products your question is likely asked in the wrong forum.

We are using RQM 5.0 and Rational DOORS Next Generation 5.0. We are migrating from HP ALM to the IBM platform.
I have a stand-alone VB application, that needs to get data using the REST APIs and process the data to display on the screens of our application. We also need to be able to create and update the test plans, test cases, and work items in RQM using our application.
When i run what I have coded, i get a bunch of junk back, in HTML format, stating "Javascript is either disabled or not available in your Browser". I am using Firefox 47.0.1
I have made sure the Active Scriting is turned on and still get the same result.
