Import from URL
If the URL of a Web service uses parameters, you can instruct MapForce to parse the URL and import any parameters automatically. When you use this option, any template, matrix, or query parameters extracted from the URL become available in the Parameters table of the Web Service Call Settings dialog box, where you can further manipulate them as necessary.
The table below shows some examples of various URL styles:
URL with template parameters | http://example.org/api/products/{id} |
URL with matrix parameters | http://example.org/api/products;sort=asc;category=1;page=1 |
URL with query parameters | http://example.org/api/products?category=1&page=2&sort=asc |
| Note: | A URL must begin with either http:// or https:// to be parseable. |
To import Web service parameters from a URL, take the steps below:
1.Open the Web Service Call Settings dialog box.
2.Switch to manual service definition.
3.Click Import from URL.
4.In the dialog box that pops up (screenshot below), enter the URL to the Web service and click OK.
