REST Client

With the REST connection, you can access an API to read data.

The following properties can be configured for the REST client:

Property	Description
Name	Any name under which this REST client appears in the connection project. Choose a name that is unique to you during connection project planning.
Host URL	URL of the web service to be connected.
OpenAPI file	URL that leads to the description file of the API (programming interface). This is usually a JSON or YAML file. Specifying an OpenAPI file helps later when configuring the transfer object.
Login	If you need to log in to the web service, you can select the appropriate type here. You can obtain the relevant information from the web service administrator.
HTTP header	Fields for the transfer of HTTP parameters.
Timeout	Time in seconds that the connection may take to establish before a connection error is returned.
Trusted certificates	Selection of which certificates should be trusted. All (insecure): Every certificate is accepted. Router: A connection is allowed if the certificate is in the router's certificate management and is trusted. Windows: A connection is allowed if the certificate is present in the Windows certificate store.
Certificate	Client certificate to be used for connections. The plus sign is used to add a certificate, the trash can to remove a certificate. The eye icon can be used to view the properties of the selected certificate.
