How to pass an optional column in relative path of scripted rest api

[Divya95]

Hi ,

We need to perform a GET operation , by query columns Incident ID ,Status ,Assigned Group .

But Assigned Group is optional .How do i specify this in relative path or do I need  to specify this condition in the code .

Hi Divya,

Have your relative path as follows and check in code whether value is present in url parameter or not.

Relative path: /apiName/{incidentId}/{status}/{assignmentGroup}

Script:

var incidentId = request.pathParams.incidentId;

var status = request.pathParams.status;

var assignmentGroup = request.pathParams.assignmentGroup;

Hi Ankur ,

But if i dont provide assignment group value ,it throws error

"Requested URI does not represent any resource:

So how do i get a valid reponse even if assignment group is not provided .

Hi Divya,

Base UI parameter cannot be optional; only query string parameters can be optional

I would suggest to have following approach.

Inform 3rd party to send the values with separated with some special character and in your script you split and use

example:

singleValue could be INC001@In Progress@Group1

Relative path: /apiName/{singleValue}

Script:

var singleValue = request.pathParams.singleValue;

var split1 = singleValue.split("@");

var incidentId = split1[0];

var status = split1[1];

var assignmentGroup = split1[2];

I will still check and let you know if better way found.
