Can we call a web service in our Indesign script

Can we call a web service in our Indesign script, if yes how?

In theory, yes, it is possible, by using ExtendScript's native Socket object.

In practice, however, you will find it is extremely difficult because the Socket object is not only very slow, but also very very primitive. For more details on the Socket object please see page 194 of the "Javascript Tools Guide" pdf that comes with ExtendScript Toolkit.
