REST

With the REST plug-in, you can use the OPC Router to both call external REST interfaces and expose your own REST endpoints.

The REST documentation is divided into three sections:

• Basics and the relationship between plug-in configuration and (trigger and transfer) objects
• Configuration of the REST client and REST server
• Using the objects within a flow

Overview

• REST in OPC Router: Structure and Responsibilities
• REST Plug-ins
• REST Client Transfer Object
• REST Trigger
• Examples and Concepts

Brief Overview

• The REST client is used to call external REST interfaces.
• The REST server is used to provide custom REST endpoints in the OPC Router.
• The plug-ins define basic technical settings such as address, authentication, and certificates.
• Transfer objects and triggers define the specific data exchange within a flow.
