hello All,  
I am getting a data through API . It works fine when i run the script from script console.

It's probably a scope issue.

The script console runs at designer client scope, not gateway scope

That is purely a network problem. Indicating that your gateway's attempted traffic to the target website was blocked. Look at your firewalls and routers, and make sure your gateway is running with a user account that has network privileges.
