Configuration
URL
Points to the endpoint for the request.
Use {propertyName} anywhere in the URL to replace it with the value of the property. E.g. https://some.api/endpoint/{someId}
Method
This is where you specify which request method the REST API expects for the specific endpoint. Normally, this would be GET if you are reading data, or POST if you are sending data.
GET
If you chose GET, you will be able to set auto-fetch, which, if enabled, will send the request immediately after starting the application.
GET will populate the properties you created with the values received from the server.
POST
With POST, you will have the option to send the data either as part of the request body or header.
All the properties you create for the data source, and their values, will be sent to the server when you trigger the request.
Triggers
You may set up triggers, anywhere in your application, to send the API requests. Read more about this in the following page:
