Virtual Services for Create/Add Scenarios

[Senthil Manohar]

Hi,

Can someone help me on the below scenario?

I have a REST API, which which generates account number for new users and have another API, which uses the generated account number to fetch the details of the account. How can we virtualize this scenario as realistic as possible, by using an excel or csv to store the generated account number for API-1 and fetch from the same file when the API-2 is called. 

Example. API-1
Request:
POST /api/v1/customer/entry
{
"firstName" : "John",
"lastName" : "Mathews"
}

Response:
{
"accountNumber" : 2020-1234567890,
"msg" : "Account Created Successfully"
}

API-2
Request:
POST /api/v1/customer/fetch
{
"accountNumber" : 2020-1234567890
}

Response:
{
"firstName" : "John",
"lastName" : "Mathews",
"accountNumber" : 2020-1234567890
}

Thanks
Senthil Manohar

Hi,

 

DevTest offers the SharedModelMap if you want to exchange data between Virtual Services.

 

If you search the communities threads you'll find some example of how it can be used.

 

Cheers,

Danny

Hi Senthil,

For a simplistic approach, you can save the accountnumber of API-1 call in a text file and use the same text file for retrieval in next API.

To Cater more complex scenarios, i would recommend using DB instead of Excel & CSV.

Thanks
