Configuring End Point Header Details
In the API Management module, this feature allows you to define the parameters that the API request’s header section contains. The header parameters are used for authentication purposes. The header parameters provide complete information about the source of the API request. While integrating an API with the vConnect module, configuring header details is not a… Continue reading Configuring End Point Header Details
Selecting Source of Value
You perform this activity several times. When you configure multi-part parameters, template body parameters, or query and path parameters, you select the source of value. The source of value specifies the source location from where the vConnect module fetches the data. Based on the source of value, you configure the API parameters and determine the… Continue reading Selecting Source of Value
Configuring Dynamic Query Variables
The query parameters are appended as an optional key-value pair to the URL string. In the URL string, the query parameters are used to determine the location of a specific resource. The query parameters are appended to the URL string after the question mark character (?). In the query parameter, multiple parameters separated by the… Continue reading Configuring Dynamic Query Variables
Configuring Dynamic Path Variables
This feature allows you to configure the path parameters in the API request. The path parameters are part of the end-point URL and point to a specific resource. They are enclosed by curly braces {}. For instance: – If you want to find a specific resource based on its ID, you can use the path… Continue reading Configuring Dynamic Path Variables
Mapping Template Body Parameters
