REST APIs

Hi,My client wants to connect to the App Store Connect API (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi) but we are having trouble with getting the authorization to work.Calls to the API require JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authorization, specifically using the “ES256” signature algorithm. We tried using the CData Rest connector but found in the documentation that “...the JWT signature algorithm cannot be set directly. Only the RS256 algorithm is supported”  https://cdn.cdata.com/help/DWH/ado/pg_oauth.htm#jwtHas anyone experience connecting to the App Store Connect API?

We are struggling with nested calls in a POST API with custom body. We don't change the URI on every input, but need to change the body on every request:We use Cursor based pagination using rows@next for pagination. And as it seems you can only use one pagination per rsd, we can only get one iteration using nested calls.Query slicers only seem to be able to slice URI's (https://cdn.cdata.com/help/DWG/jdbc/pg_queryslicer.htm). In our example, we are extracting ReservationId's from a Reservation request and need them as a body input for ReservationItems in batches of 1000.Any help would be appreciated, let me know if you

We’re facing issues with CData REST API connector when requesting an API for a large dataset. TX sends the request, but seems to never receive a response. The execution fails when it hits the timeout limit (currently set to 3600 seconds).In the logs (verbosity 4) I see that nothing happens between the time that the request was sent and the moment of timeout. I put the same URI, headers and parameters in Azure Data Factory. After 9 minutes it receives a response of 204MB and 176K rows. In Postman, I received a response after 8 minutes. While I agree that it might be better to somehow make smaller API request. In fact, when I limit the date range to only this year, TX get

We have an API in which we have to pass a POST request with a request body to obtain the data. In Qlik Sense and Postman we have a basic connection established. However, there you can easily specify that the call should be a POST and you can also easily fetch the request body. In the CDATA REST connector in TX, we do not know where to fetch this request body in the connection. The demo endpoint we are trying to connect is:https://api.mews-demo.com/api/connector/v1/configuration/getwith the request body:{"ClientToken": "E0D439EE522F44368DC78E1BFB03710C-D24FB11DBE31D4621C4817E028D9E1D","AccessToken": "7059D2C25BF64EA681ACAB3A00B859CC-D91BFF2B1E3047A3E0DEC1D57BE1382","Client": "NameOfYourCompanyOrApplication"}Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,To implement pagination in the API endpoint "https://domainname/api/v2/search/tickets?updated_since=2023-01-01T02:00:00Z&page{}", you need to provide the page parameter in a nested format. I prepared a custom RSD file specific to this API after reading the "Nested parameter" article. I have created a loop starting from 1 in the given code.  However, I'm not able to see any data. I'm not receiving any errors during the transfer and synchronization processes. You can find the RSD file attached.I would appreciate in resolving this issue.Best Regards

Hi TimeXtenderI have an urgent request (!)I am trying to set up a Script action (which I will later use in a table as a post-script) that executes a POST CURL in a different tool.I have tried to execute the POST CURL in Postman and it is working.Now I want to do the same from TimeXtender.I have an URL and a Token.How can I set it up? Looking forward to hearing from you.Ismail

Hi,  I am wondering if it is at all possible to use data stored in a TimeXtender table as variables in a REST API call. I have two use cases that hopefully explain what I am trying to achieve A combination of two REST API's where one requires the output of the other: The first one retrieves all possible classes that can be attended, the second one retrieves all people enrolled in such a class. But the class name is a parameter in the header. I'd like to store the class names in a table and then loop through them (not sure if that's the way to go) and request all enrolled students. A Machine Learning functionIn, for example, Azure Machine Learning Studio I am able to host a model using a REST API. Then, I can call the model and by inserting the parameter values I receive a predicted value. I'd like to do this in the data warehouse since it saves time compared to requesting it every time a dashboard reloa

Hi,I am using a REST API (CData source) to get source data. Is it possible to specify that you want to do a POST rather than GET in a CData source?If so is there any Guide? 

Hi, We are trying to connect to a REST api and are using the JSON CData provider version 22.0.8257.0.We are connecting to two seperate datasources:Companies within Europe; Companies outside of EuropeThe problem with the second datasource is that the decimal seperator is mixed up.We tried some of the culture settings but it doesn’t seem to work.What is the best way to solve this?

I have been trying for quite a while to connect to an REST endpoint requiring authentication. Have gone through the the cdata documentation and various ressources on the support site.I have working setups both in postman and SSIS Script Task, but is very keen on migrating to a more native TX setup (maintainability), will be migratning several more in the time to come.The process is as follows:Get Authentication Token (HTTP POST) The POSTed information is send as ‘x-www-form-urlencoded’ in the body part (Postman) The response is a json object, containing the token in a attribute Get Actual Data using the Authentication Token (HTTP GET with token as a url parameter)The source in this case i ArcGIS, and the documentation does not mention anything about a standardised authentication scheme.Is there a way around implementing this in any of the standardised authentication schemes, or do I need to

We have a new REST API data source that we are trying to connect to.  This data source takes only an API key through the Authorization: Bearer <api_token> request header.  I am using the CData ADO.NET Provider for REST 2019.  I have added the API URI and the custom header (bearer token), and even selected OAuth 2.0 and added a Callback URL of http://localhost:33333.  No matter what I do, it seems as though the API key is not being passed correctly.  The message I get in the response is "{"message":"Invalid Token"}" and "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized".  I am able to connect to this data source using Postman with the Authorization: Bearer token.  Can anyone give advise on specific settings for using only an API key? Thanks, Dan
