Rest

Rest

Rest requests allows API's to connect to other systems, that was built via radical or existing services or any REST end point.

Example :

Let's send a SMS via Twillio API,

Curl request from twillio documentation

curl -X POST "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json" \
--data-urlencode "Body=This will be the body of the new message" \
--data-urlencode "From=+15017122661" \
--data-urlencode "To=+15558675310" \
-u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

Steps to create this request

  1. Enter request name as SendMessage
  2. Select default group / your group settings icon and base url to be changed as https://api.twilio.com/ (opens in a new tab)
  3. Twillio uses basic authentication, set authentication type as basic. This will generate environmental variables which can be modified in .env files DEFAULT_SERVICE_AUTH_USERNAME DEFAULT_SERVICE_AUTH_PASSWORD
  4. ::TODO:: Form encoding should be at field level, this needs to be updated after code change

Rest group

Rest group is a collection of rest requests that have a common base url and authentication.

For example if a microservice is connecting to twillio for sending sms and email and also connects to salesforce for CRM. Then requests groups can be created for twillio and salesforce.
