How to pass values dynamically in REST Endpoint

[Chandresh]

Hi,

Does anybody have any idea how to pass values dynamically in REST endpoint. In below snapshot, in place of IP, i want a fucntionality that on clicking a button, it should automatically pass the IP address field of the record and parse the response.

Hi Chandresh,

Make the end-point as follows with a variable substitution and this should be for the HTTP method and not the end-point itself

http://adam.kahtava.com/services/whois.xml?query={ipAddress}

Create a variable substitution as follows:

Name - ipAddress

Test Value - ${ipAddress}

While you test use setStringParameter() to set the dynamic value

var ipAddress = ''; // any value you need here

var r = new RestMessage();

r.setStringParameter('ipAddress', ipAddress);

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Do we need to add ${ipAddress} in both Content and Rest message function parameters or content is enough?

Hi Mallikharjuna,

you need to put ${ipAddress} in the content body where you want the ip address to be present

also you need to create variable substitution or rest message function parameter for that and in name use ${ipAddress}

Could you give link to your question in community since this is an old thread?

You can also use:

Recordless RESTMessageV2 example

You can just set the endpoint in the script rather than defining in the rest message.
