Invoke REST calls using Policy Express

[Vinay B]

We are looking to leverage Policy Express to invoke REST calls. Is there a sample REST URL that we can leverage for more understanding and configure it.

 

In addition, do we have an example used for REST.

 

Thanks.

Hi

You could use public / test REST APIs such as JSONPlaceholder - Fake online REST API for developers or REST Countries  to test and see how things work. Also, if you are using Identity Portal you can utilize the IM REST API used by the Portal.

Thank you. We were able to test using http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts .

 

From our use case, we want to pass user information as part of the REST call(that the application has built for us and it will perform an insert into the application database) and I assume that we can do that using Request Body in Policy Express using Category as Data Sources, type as REST Base Query and Function as Basic Auth Invoke.

 

In the functional description, what should the Request body look like

 

Base URL: Application URL

Operation: POST

UserName: dummy

Password: ****

Request Body: What should be the format and is there an example or a technote.

 

Thank you.

Hi,
Please share the response format when we execute/initiate the rest query for Base URL: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
{"userId":1,"title":"foo","body": "bar"}
Thanks,
