  3. });  
  4.   
  5. function execCrossDomainRequest() {  
  6.     var executor;  
  7.   
  8.     // Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.  
  9.     executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);  
  10.   
  11.     // To get the title using REST we can hit the endpoint:  
  12.     //      app_web_url/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/getByTitle('ListName')?$select=Created&@target='siteUrl'  
  13.     // The response formats the data in the JSON format.  
  14.   
  15.     executor.executeAsync({  
  16.         url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/getByTitle('TestList')?$select=Created&@target='" + hostweburl + "'",  
  17.         method: "GET",

  22.         error: errorHandler  
  23.     });  
  24. }

  29.     var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);  
  30.     console.log('List Created Date: ' + jsonObject.d.Created);
