#REST API

11 Followers · 634 Posts

Representational state transfer (REST) is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating Web services. Web services that conform to the REST architectural style, called RESTful Web services (RWS), provide interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. RESTful Web services allow the requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources by using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations. Other kinds of Web services, such as SOAP Web services, expose their own arbitrary sets of operations.

Question Oliver Wilms · May 9

I want to develop a REST API for uploading PDF files. I started with OPENAPI spec file. When I test, I get error 8727 referencing missing required parameter file.

"{"$c(13,10,9)"""errors"":[ {"$c(13,10,9,9,9)"""code"":8727,"$c(13,10,9,9,9)"""domain"":""%ObjectErrors"","$c(13,10,9,9,9)"""error"":""ERROR #8727: Parameter required: file."","$c(13,10,9,9,9)"""id"":""RESTRequired"","$c(13,10,9,9,9)"""params"":[""file"""$c(13,10,9,9,9)"]"$c(13,10,9,9)"}"$c(13,10,9)"],"$c(13,10,9)"""summary"":""ERROR #8727: Parameter required: file.

In our previous article, we explored the basics of unit testing in IRIS and the ways to apply it to a REST API. We even figured out how to test logic before finalizing network configurations and authentication, allowing us to focus solely on testing the API contents. Today, we will build upon that foundation and elevate our unit testing strategy by using another tool: %Populate .

At first glance, the %Populate class appears to be very simple. You can create a class that extends both %Persistent and %Populate and inherit a Populate method designed to generate randomized records.

What is a Microservice?

A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services. Each component is developed around a specific business capability, can be deployed independently, and is typically managed by a miniature, specialized, self-governing team.
