Call REST Web Service

This build tool enables connection to any RESTful web service through the use of auto-generated JavaScript code. The setup is done as follows:

• Drag-and-drop the build tool to the desired location on the tree, then specify a name for the object.
• Enter the endpoint URL to be called, and select between GET or POST request type.
• Select between Basic or Advanced
• Select how to send the payload JSON String or Query String. JSON string is recommended for the vast majority of use cases.

Basic

• Specify inputs: this is done by setting JSON key-value pairs using hardcoded keys and either hardcoded values or values read from objects.
• Specify outputs: this is done in a similar manner to inputs, but selecting objects to store output values in instead.

Advanced

• Specify input JSON: This is a freetext editor to type out a JSON payload. This can use Xpertrule JS objects to get values from within the inference.
• Specify Output: A second freetext editor to tell the inference engine what to do with the response.
