Configuring a REST connection

On the Connection page of the New REST Integration wizard, you can configure the connection of your system with the external REST service.

  1. In the System details section, enter the name of the source system in the Name field. This field represents the name of the system that hosts the external REST service.

    For example, if the external REST service is a weather service such as Google Weather API, you can enter Google Weather in this field.

  2. Enter the endpoint URL of the external REST service.
  3. Optional: Update the suggested resource path names and add more by clicking Add resource path. Select the Parameter check box next to each resource path name that is a parameter. The system updates the endpoint URL accordingly.

    If you mark a resource path name as a parameter, the system generates a property as part of the request data model and substitutes the property's value for the value of the parameter at run time.

  4. Optional: Update the suggested query string parameters and add more by clicking Add parameter.
  5. Note: The system considers query string parameters as part of the request and creates properties for them.

  6. Optional: Add custom headers for the external REST service by clicking Add header.
  7. The system adds each request header to the REST connector rule that is generated for the methods that you select on the Resource methods page of the wizard. The value for each header is the value that you specify in the first sample that you collect on the Data model page of the wizard.

  8. Click Next.
