I need my Discord Bot handling GET and POST requests for an external website
I want my Discord Bot handling GET and POST requests, to control some features of my Bot with a dashboard. Knowing that my Bot is hosted in a different server than my future dashboard.
Someone talked about setting a RESTFul API but after some researches I don't really know how to do it and if it will really help me. I can't say if another ways are possible.
I'm using node.js and the library discord.js
node.js httprequest discord.js

Look into Express and read some tutorials about it, can't say much more than that.

What @MadWard said and can you show what you already tried, what errors you get,... SA is not made for broad questions like this, you will have to be more specific. You also should look at tools like curl and Postman to learn how to interact with API's.

You can use express to do different things for GET and POST
Use POST for the webserver requests as the browsers use GET.
Note: the bot would run this to serve the webserver
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var data = '{"example":{"online":true,"status":"200"}}';
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send('<html><head><script>window.location.href = 'https://google.com/'</script></head><body>You shouldn't be here! <a href='https://google.com'>Exit</a></body></html>');
/** Redirect the browser to google with window.location.href
* Change this to your site */
});
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
/** You could add some auth code here but
* if your sending it all to the client there isn't much of a difference
* because people could read it from the website. */
res.type('json');
res.json(data);
/* Webserver --> Bot */
res.end();
});
app.listen(8080);
console.log('API Online');
You will have to use setInterval(() => {}, 15000); to update the data variable and you need to parse the data on the client.
XMLHttpRequest should work well enough for that

You can use express to do different things for GET and POST
Use POST for the webserver requests as the browsers use GET.
Note: the bot would run this to serve the webserver
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var data = '{"example":{"online":true,"status":"200"}}';
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send('<html><head><script>window.location.href = 'https://google.com/'</script></head><body>You shouldn't be here! <a href='https://google.com'>Exit</a></body></html>');
/** Redirect the browser to google with window.location.href
* Change this to your site */
});
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
/** You could add some auth code here but
* if your sending it all to the client there isn't much of a difference

res.type('json');
res.json(data);
/* Webserver --> Bot */
res.end();
});
app.listen(8080);
console.log('API Online');
