OIC - REST API URL Patterns

Some applications can expose REST services using either path parameters or query parameters.  

For example Oracle Fusion applications provides REST API's using both path parameters and query parameters. 

Path Parameter Sample: 

https://fusion-host-name:443/hcmRestApi/resources/latest/userAccounts/{UserGUID}

When you provide this URL in OIC relative URL path , OIC will create a parameter called UserGUID with type as String. 

You can use this parameter variable to pass dynamic values during runtime. 

Query Parameter Sample: 

https://idcs-host-name/admin/v1/Users?filter=userName+sw+%22vijaya%22

https://oracle-fusion-hostname/hcmRestApi/resources/latest/emps?q=PersonNumber=112233

In this scenario , we cant provide URL with ?  in OIC rest end point.   We can provide value till ? mark. 

In the above examples, query parameters are filter and q strings.   

While creating REST invoke , select add query parameters and provide Query parameters as filter and q. 

We can provide values to these parameters in mapping and we can pass dynamic values. 

Example : 

q mapping   concat("PersonNumber=",'$dynamic_person_number')
