How to access OH REST API from Javascript?

Everything (seems) to work fine. I am trying to create a rule in Javascript that adds or removes items to a certain group.

You don’t need to use the REST API for this. Each Item has addGroup(groupName) and removeGroup(groupName) methods.

If you are using Rules DSL it’s as simple as

MyItem.addGroup("OpenItems")

If using one of the other languages you need to pull the Item from the ItemRegistry first

ir.getItem("MyItem").addGroup("OpenItems");

If you really want to use the REST API for this, you should use the sendHttpXRequest Actions to make the requests. But note that those API calls are protected and you’ll need to set up authentication in the headers of the requests.
