Working with API in Corteza Server: 2023.9.3

[sudip]

I created a simple app with single module, and 2 pages to display record list and create new record. Now I wanted to GET or PUT data through Rest API. How to configure Integration Gateway for end point creation and remaining steps to push and pull data through API. I have installed Postman in my Linux server to work with API in Corteza Server:2023.9.3.
Available documents are confusing, so need help in this forum.
Thank you.

Can you describe what your end goal is?
Integration gateway can be used for many things.
In general, it’s used to trigger a workflow that processes that payload request.

I have not created any workflow as such. Today morning, I had to reinstall Corteza again locally and reworked on the application I built earlier. My goal is to see connecting external APIs for my front designed in Corteza for my data outside . From Corteza I want to call external APIs for data.
Can you guide me in API configuration, please…

Corteza’s API documentation is located at:

https://yourdomain/api/docs/?urls.primaryName=Compose

Anything you can do via the UI is available using the API.

If you want to interact with external APIs then you can utilize a workflow function, type http, to call the external API and get its response.

Some discussions related to this are:

Request to third paty REST API

Hi @kadmine , advise to use Workflows instead of Corredor. You can still use Corredor, but we implemented Workflows with simplicity in mind (at least greater than Corredor ). Using integration gateways is for incoming requests, so for any webhooks or data that is sent into your Corteza, so this cannot be used for your case. What you need to do is use the HTTP Request function and in the url field do make sure you use either quotes or tick off the expression toggle. [image]

Reader type | Http Request

I currently have the response from an HTTP request and need to access what is in the body. The type of the response is “Reader.” I want to know how I can access the body of the HTTP request response. [image] I’m asking this because the documentation for the “Reader” type doesn’t provide much information.

Example of workflow taking external json input into queue

I had a use case where I need to send json records in an array to be created as corteza records. I was exploring ways to use the corteza queue to return quicker to the client application and then have a second workflow to consume the records placed on the queue. What is happens here is: Use postman to post to the workflow using escaped json string First workload reads array and writes each element to the queue Consumer workflow reads each element and creates a record Note that the tricky …
