#REST API

By default InterSystems IRIS expose your endpoints using http, but can be necessary run https from your dev env and/or get public internet access to your app. You can buy or get a certificate and config a gateway, spending many hours or use a great public service called ngrok. Follow the steps:

1 - Run your app, I will use FHIR template as sample, see:

1.1 download the app: git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-fhir-template.git

1.2 go to the app dir: cd iris-fhir-template

1.3 run the app: docker-compose up -d

What is npm-iris? 

N.P.M stands for "No Project Mess."

N.P.M. is a Project & Task Management app that uses InterSystems IRIS and Bootstrap 4.

No Project Mess is created to help developers and small business companies to reduce complexity in their daily problems, with a simple and intuitive projects and tasks management software. 

It offers different views for your tasks, from a spreadsheet, kanban, calendar, or even Gantt!

Hey Developers!

We're pleased to announce the next competition of creating open-source solutions using InterSystems IRIS! Please welcome:

⚡️ InterSystems Full Stack Contest ⚡️

Duration: September 21 - October 11, 2020

So, one day you're working away at WidgetsDirect, the leading supplier of widget and widget accessories, when your boss asks you to develop the new customer facing portal to allow the client base to access the next generation of Widgets..... and he wants you to use Angular 1.x to read into the department's Caché server.   

There's only one problem:  You've never used Angular, and don't know how to make it talk to Caché.

This guide is going to walk through the process of setting up a full Angular stack which communicates with a Caché backend using JSON over REST.  

Part 1 - Setup

⏯ Building Data-Driven Web Apps

Hi all,

a HealthConnect customer of ours came across with a question to use an external service via REST and OpenID within one of his HealthConnect  (2020.1) productions. The overal idea is to send data to the external system after receiving a baerer token to use for the communication between HealthConnect and this system.

Introduction

Nowadays, there is a lot of applications that are using Open Authorization framework (OAuth) to access resources from all kinds of services in a secure, reliable and efficient manner. InterSystems IRIS is already compatible with OAuth 2.0 framework, in fact, there is a great article in the community regarding OAuth 2.0 and InterSystems IRIS in the following link here.

Hi guys.

Recently, I get interest in FHIR in order to run for the IRIS for Health FHIR contest. As a beginner on this topic, I've heard somewhat about it, but I didn't know how complex and powerful was FHIR. As pointed out by @Henrique.GonçalvesDias here, you can model several aspects of the patient history and other related entities.

Fortunately, the DC provide very nice material about FHIR and how IRIS for Health could help us to deal with such complexity.

Does anyone know if I can create an API integration, from Ensemble to Salesforce? What I would like to do is trigger a Salesforce case to be opened when for example a Queue reaches a predefined threshold or an interface connection goes from green to non-green.

Asymmetric cryptography is a cryptographic system that uses pairs of keys: public keys which may be disseminated widely, and private keys which are known only to the owner. The generation of such keys depends on cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems to produce one-way functions. Effective security only requires keeping the private key private; the public key can be openly distributed without compromising security.

In such a system, any person can encrypt a message using the receiver's public key, but that encrypted message can only be decrypted with the receiver's private key.

Robust authentication is also possible. A sender can combine a message with a private key to create a short digital signature on the message. Anyone with the sender's corresponding public key can combine the same message and the supposed digital signature associated with it to verify whether the signature was valid, i.e. made by the owner of the corresponding private key.

⏯ REST at Ease

Hi,

I've added a REST service which worked fine on our test system but failed on the production environment because UnknownUser does not have %All set and I really don't want it set on production (in fact I've also switched it off on test).

Is there a way to allow a single REST service to have unauthorised access?

I was thinking adding a resource/role to UnknownUser specifically for that service but I've never touched on Users/Roles/Resources so I'm struggling to work out what needs adding where.

Thanks

Hey Developers,

Check out the latest video on FHIR API Management:

⏯ FHIR API Management: Security

Hi All,

With this article, I would like to show you how easily and dynamically System Alerting and Monitoring(or SAM for short) can be configured. The use case could be that of a fast and agile CI/CD provisioning pipeline where you want to run your unit-tests but also stress-tests and you would want to quickly be able to see if those tests are successful or how they are stressing the systems and your application (the InterSystems IRIS backend SAM API is extendable for your APM implementation). 

Using SOAP Web Services or REST API Resources, if you want to deliver strategic digital assets for your organization, SOA aproach is an excellent option. The InterSystems IRIS supports like a charm the SOA principles with Contract First technique to model services aligned with the business, and create the services from the service contracts (Open API or WSDL).

Hi all

Does anyone have an easy way of reading the cdata in the xml response returned buy a Webservice?

At the moment I have a XML class and then I use read.Correlate() to read through that XML bit.  

However, depending on the message I have different things in the CData and I don't want to create a class for each one of these.

The API returns the cddata as KeyValueOfstringstring.

My idea would be to send to my method the cdata as a parameter which is the KeyValueOfstringstring part of the response message and then deal with it...

Any help would be appreciated...

Best Regards

Hello everyone,

In the purpose of my work, I have to implement a code that will communicate with a restful server coded in JAVA.

To fulfill my task, they gave me the link to the restful server + a certificate to use + the class that's going to be sent back +  the names of 2 functions:

Acces: https://XXX:8443/

First fonction: https://XXX:8443/patient/IdOfPatient

Second fonction: https://XXX:8443/patient/search/nameOfFunction?ndoss=Number

Object that returned:

{

"id" = ...

"lastname"=...

...

}

Hi guys,

I'm trying to consume a REST Service that use Digest authentication, I'm trying to implement the authentication but I'm don't know where is my mistake.

Someone have already used this type of authentication.

Below the code I wrote to try to generate the response hash:

Hi All,

Actually, I'm developing few restful API's. I want to create a authentication tokens and display it on my login restful API. If I'm using CSP sessionId, how can I validate the session Id's in another or continues restful API's. else, is there any other approach to handle this task. 

My Primary goal is, I have to integrate 2 different front end applications. One is Zen framework another one is web pages from Python. 

If any lead, it would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Arun Kumar Durairaj. 

Hello everyone! 

I have REST API and want check user with http header authorization,

When user input incorrect data refuse them with 401 unauthorized,

Question how to response with 401 unauthorized

Some time ago I got a WRC case transferred where a customer asks for the availability of a raw DEFLATE compression/decompression function built-in Caché.

When we talk about DEFLATE we need to talk about Zlib as well, since Zlib is the de-facto standard free compression/decompression library developed in the mid-90s.

Zlib works on particular DEFLATE compression/decompression algorithm and the idea of encapsulation within a wrapper (gzip, zlib, etc.).

I've got a REST service that I can access via a browser. I can get it to take HTML tags as data and display it back to me (so I know the REST part is working). So if I send it this:

http://MyServer:57772/TestArea/rest/TestQuery?UUID=1&RTX=RTX123456&CareType=Palliative
 

Then I can pick out the data and tell it to display in the browser, which is great but what I really want to do is put the data into a string and send to a business process that will do lots of looking up but eventually return a URL that my REST service will then redirect the browser to.

In this article, we will explore the development of an IRIS client for consuming RESTful API services that have been developed to the OData API standard.

We will be exploring a number of built-in IRIS libraries for making HTTP requests, reading and writing to JSON payloads, and seeing how we can use them in combination to build a generic client adaptor for OData. We will also explore the new JSON adapter for deserializing JSON into persistent objects.

Hello All,

I am compiling a REST Operation to call our hospital Administration system, following tutorials around the REST API's etc. First time we have integrated like this so not much knowledge around our hospital - hoping someone on here can help.

I have been using the JSONStreamToObject Method which is working as i expected, apart from trying to get a specific item in the example JSON Response as follows:

{"test":"abc","name":[{"use":"usual","family":"Matest","given":["Mia"]}]}

I am trying to create REST API following these instructions:  https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=GREST_apimgmnt

However it does not work.

I tried downloaded the v2.0 schema.json of the OpenAPI specification and pasted it on Postman with the parameters as speicifed, but I get this error message back:

Suppose I have a web application named "/my/api", with a dispatch class configured (a subclass of %CSP.REST), and I want to be able to respond to:

GET /my/api/something/:id

by loading an object with the specified ID and returning it as JSON

GET /my/api/another-thing/data.js

Hi community,

This article to give a description of my small library JSON Filter.

Why JSON Filter?

Search, sort data are common operations.

But … How to do this with JSON data?

You can use a %DocDB, It’s a good way for storing JSON and index the main properties.

However, JSON document is very flexible. It isn’t always possible (and not recommended) to index each properties to process the wished queries. A manual processing on a data subset is may be required.

In my opinion, this is not a funny part of the job. It’s a repetitive code with many loops etc...
