Request: Visual Cobol Program w/ web API on a Visual Studio platform

Not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for but here is an example of accessing a web service using our .NET COBOL syntax:

class-id ManagedCOBOL.LocalTimeHelper.

*>> <summary>
*>> This method returns the local time for a store
*>> </summary>
*>> <param name="latitude">I'll give you 1 guess as to what this needs...</param>
*>> <param name="longitude">Oh come on</param>
*>> <returns>The local time in a given latitude/longitude according to Google</returns>
method-id GetLocalTime static.

procedure division using by value latitude as float-long, by value longitude as float-long,
returning res as string.

declare client = new type RestSharp.RestClient("http://api.geonames.org")
declare request = new RestSharp.RestRequest("timezoneJSON", type RestSharp.Method::GET)

invoke request::AddParameter("lat", latitude)
invoke request::AddParameter("lng", longitude)
invoke request::AddParameter("username", "microfocals")

declare response = client::Execute[type GeoNamesTimeZone](request)

set res to response::Data::time

goback.
end method.

end class.
