Node-RED and REST APIs with resource id's - rest

I'm trying to use Node-RED to develop a REST based API. For example, a GET would be:
http://myurl.com/widgets/"widget-id"
where "widget-id" would be 123. I can get this to work using query strings. However, I can't seem to figure out what to put on the http input node to allow a resource id to get passed. Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas on what I need to do?

The other answer is nearly right, it just needs tweaking for Node-RED
If you set the URL in the HTTP Input node to /widget/:id
you can access the widget id in a function node linked to the HTTP Input node as follows:
var id = msg.req.params.id;

if you get all widgets:
router.get('/widgets/', function(data){});
if only one item(for example - 123):
router.get('/widgets/:id(\\d+)', function(data){});
in you're browser or if you using POSTMAN enter http url: http://youredomain.com/widgets/or http://youredomain.com/widgets/123

golang Chi router with query params not working

I am working on a restful service in golang using chi. I am trying to create a route as below
r.Mount("/api/dest", router.NewDestRouter(chi.NewRouter(), destSrv).InitRoutes())
func (dr *DestRouter) InitRoutes() http.Handler {
dr.router.Post("/{number}/product?version={v}", handlers.HandleProduct(dr.dest))
return dr.router
}
But I try to hit this endpoint via post man I get a 404 not found
http://localhost:8345/api/dest/1235abc/product?version=1
May I know the issue here?
As #mkopriva mentioned, simply use r.URL.Query().Get("version") to get the query parameter.
Met this issue, found status 404, for your situation, only go with /{number}/product, do not need to add the content ?version={v}, chi only match with the path, and then use r.URL.Query().Get("version") to get the query parameters, it will work.

Invalid_request_parameter (create and sending envelopes)

I'm trying to use a service of DocuSign API in an abap project. I want to send a document to a specific email so it can be signed. But im getting the following error:
"errorCode": "INVALID_REQUEST_PARAMETER",## "message": "The request contained at least one invalid parameter. Query parameter 'from_date' must be set to a valid DateTime, or 'envelope_ids' or 'transaction_ids' must be specified.
I tried the following:
CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url
EXPORTING
url = l_url (https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/XXXXXX')
proxy_host = co_proxy_host
proxy_service = co_proxy_service
IMPORTING
client = lo_http_client
lo_http_client->request->set_method( method = 'POST').
CALL METHOD lo_http_client->request->set_header_field
EXPORTING
name = 'Accept'
value = 'application/json'.
CALL METHOD lo_http_client->request->set_header_field
EXPORTING
name = 'X-DocuSign-Authentication'
value = get_auth_header( ). (json auth header)
CALL METHOD lo_http_client->request->set_cdata
EXPORTING
data = create_body( ).
This is my body:
CONCATENATE
`{`
`"emailSubject": "DocuSign REST API Quickstart Sample",`
`"emailBlurb": "Shows how to create and send an envelope from a document.",`
`"recipients": {`
`"signers": [{`
`"email": "test#email",`
`"name": "test",`
`"recipientId": "1",`
`"routingOrder": "1"`
`}]`
`},`
`"documents": [{`
`"documentId": "1",`
`"name": "test.pdf",`
`"documentBase64":` `"` l_encoded_doc `"`
`}],`
`"status": "sent"`
`}` INTO re_data.
The api request to get the Baseurl is working fine. (I know the error is quite specific what the problem is, but i cant find any sources on the docusign api documentation that one of the mentioned parameters should be added to the request)
Thank you in regards
The error message seems to indicate that you're Posting to an endpoint that requires certain query string parameters -- but you're not specifying them as expected in the query string. I'd suggest you check the DocuSign API documentation for the operation you are using, to determine what query string parameters it requires, and then ensure that you're including those parameters in your request URL.
If you can't figure this out using the documentation, then I'd suggest that you update your post to clarify exactly what URL (endpoint) you are using for the request, including any querystring parameters you're specifying in the URL. You can put fake values for things like Account ID, of course -- we just need to see the endpoint you are calling, and what qs params you're sending.
To create an envelope, use
https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/XXXXXX/envelopes
instead of
https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/XXXXXX
Thank you for all the answers, i found the mistake. Creating the request wasn´t the problem. I was using the wrong "sending"-method -_-.
now its working :)
lo_rest_client->post( EXPORTING io_entity = lo_request_entity ).

Why does one HTTP GET request retrieve the required data and another retrieve []

I'm currently working on ng-admin.
I'm having a problem retrieving user data from my REST API (connected to a MongoDB) and displaying it.
I have identified the problem as the following:
When I enter http://localhost:3000/users into my browser, I get a list of all users in my database.
When I enter http://localhost:3000/users?_page=1&_perPage=30&_sortDir=DESC&_sortField=id,
I get [] as a result.
I am quite new to this, I used both my browser and the POSTMAN Chrome extension to test this and get the same result.
http://localhost:3000/users_end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
This (/users_end) is a different request than /users.
It should be:
http://localhost:3000/users?end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
Or, by looking at the other parameters:
http://localhost:3000/users?_end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
with end or _end being the first parameter (mark the ?).
Update (it is ? and before the _, I have edited.):
If adding parameters to the request returns an empty list, try adding only one at a time to narrow down the problem (there's probably an error in the usage of those parameters - are you sure you need those underscores?).
Your REST API must have a way to handle pagination, sorting, and filtering. But ng-admin cannot determine exactly how, because REST is a style and not a standard. So ng-admin makes assumptions about how your API does that by default, that's why it adds these _end and _sort query parameters.
In order to transform these parameters into those that your API understands, you'll have to add an interceptor. This is all thoroughly explained in the ng-admin documentation: http://ng-admin-book.marmelab.com/doc/API-mapping.html

Apigility content validator - enable to fetch service validator

I was following the tutorials on https://apigility.org/documentation/content-validation/basic-usage. But, when I tried to inject the input filter service AddressBook\V1\Rest\Contact\Validator in the ContactResource, I get the following error:
Zend\ServiceManager\Exception\ServiceNotFoundException
File:
/Users/.../src/apigility-tutorials/vendor/zendframework/zendframework/library/Zend/ServiceManager/ServiceManager.php:529
Message:
Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager::get was unable to fetch or create an instance for AddressBook\V1\Rest\Contact\Validator
I am not sure if it's an issue with apigility itself, this is why i'm asking if the example shown in the link above actually works when using dependency injection. Thanks
Got it. According to the zf-content-validation doc, the input filter is registered through Zend\InputFilter\InputFilterPluginManager which means I have to get the InputFilterManager service first then get the Contact input filter service as follows:
$inputFilter =
$serviceLocator->get('InputFilterManager')
->get('AddressBook\V1\Rest\Contact\Validator');
Thanks for looking into it.

Integrate AngularJS App with SoftwareAG webMethods Integration Server

I have been trying to set up a sample AngularJS app with webMethods Integration Server on the backend. Using $resource, I can easily pull normal JSON files and manipulate the data within the file. However, the goal is that I want to create services in webMethods Designer and call them from AngularJS using $resource to display the data in my app. The problem is that from AngularJS I cannot extract the data I need from the service that I'm creating in Designer. In Designer I can use (in WMPublic) documentToJSONString, and output something like:
jsonString {"id":"1", "name":"Dan", "quantity":"3"}
But I cannot extract the data because this is not a pure JSON string. Does anyone know how to (1) extract the JSON string output data using AnularJS or (2) output a JSON document from Designer? I am calling a REST service; something to the effect of
http://localhost:2222/rest/Get/getOrderData
from my services.js file in AngularJS.
Here is my services.js file:
/* Services */
var orderServices = angular.module('orderServices', ['ngResource']);
orderServices.factory('Order', ['$resource',
function($resource){
return $resource('http://localhost:2222/rest/REST/getOrderData', {}, {
query: {method:'GET', isArray:true}
});
}]);
Then, in my app, I want to use an ng-repeat to call things like {{order.id}}, {{order.name}} etc. Is anyone good with webMethods and Angular or done this before?
To force the response that you want, I would have used the service
pub.flow:setResponse mapping the jsonString to it's string parameter and probably hardcoded (eww!) the contentType parameter to 'application/json'
You may also need to use the service pub.flow:setResponseCode to set the response code.
They would be the last services in getOrderData
I would have invoked it using the below (where namespace is the folder structure in designer)
http://localhost:2222/invoke/namespace:getOrderData
The above applies to Integration Server V8 and it looks like you're using V9 since some of the services that you mention didn't exist in V8. This would also apply to a normal flow service, not a specific REST one (assuming they exist in V9).
