Uniface User Forum

Hi

We are writing our first REST Api with Uniface 9.7.04.

In the DSP, we extract the input parameters with $webinfo("input").

When calling our API with a test tool (postman, SoapUI, etc)  with PUT with Json data, the input parameters are received.

But when calling the same API with the same tool and the same parameters but with GET, the input parameters are always empty.

Is it normal to not receive the json input data when called with GET?

How can we get them ?

Thanks,

Regards

I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to get json data, or to send it to your API ?

With a GET command, you can pass parameters in your URL (something like https://www.yourapi.com/api/v1/user/12 or https://www.yourapi.com/api/v1/user?id=12  ) and then recieve json (or any format you need).

But if you want to send a payload in json, you should use POST (or PUT). POST is (supposed to be) used for creation and PUT for updates.

Hi Nicolas,

Why are you using a DSP to create REST API ?  Use an USP.

We have no problem with USP whatever the http word used.
