How to make a REST API call through a MID Server?

[Smith Johnson]

Hello all,

I have the following REST API call inside my script include.

However, instead of this call, I want to configure a call to the third system through a MID server.

At first I created a new MID Server on my instance with all the needed information (name "myMID")

How can I use this MID server inside my code?

My code is the following:

var r=new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

//endpoint
r.setEndpoint("aURL");   //set a url endpoint (third system's endpoint)

r.setHttpMethod("post");  //HTTP method

//set the queryParameters (the first parameter is the name of the parameter that the third system is waiting for)
r.setQueryParameter("id",id);      //id is passed from catalog client script
r.setQueryParameter("t",t); //t is passed from catalog client script

var response=r.execute();    //send the REST API call
var responseBody=response.getBody();   //receive back the response


var answer=JSON.parse(responseBody);

 ...

How can send this call from the MID server??

Hey Ankur,

right now I can see that the mid server has "Up" status. The mid server has been installed in the client's network.

Related to your following question "Did you test the API endpoint from MID Server machine first?" ,

do I need to tell the client if they can reach the endpoint from their network?

Did I understand it correct or is it my misunderstanding?

Thank you again.

Hey Ankur, 

thank you so much for asking and your help.

I am waiting for client's answer, since I have asked the client to test the endpoint, as you suggested.

Once I have an answer, I will return back with an update.

Thank you again.

Regards,

Smith.
