Web Service Details

Web Service details tab provides the basic information about web service objects. Use this tab to define the Web Service Details. It consists of the following fields:

...

  • Get: To retrieve data
  • Post: To create data
  • Put: To edit the data
  • Delete: To delete the data
  • Patch: To update partial resources

Path Parameters

The path parameter is part of a path segment that occurs after its name. Path parameters offer a unique opportunity to dynamically replace the values and pass them in the URL

...

  • Key- parameter1 and Value value1
  • Key- parameter2 and Value value2

Query Parameters

The query parameters are sometimes referred to as optional parameters. The query parameters are separated from the hierarchical parameters by the question mark. Query parameters appear in the URL after the question mark (?) after the resource name:

Example: https://myserver.com/resource-name?param1=value1&param2=value2

...

  • Key – param1 and Value – value1
  • Key – param2 and value – value2

Request Headers

Headers are mostly classified as request headers. You will have to set the request headers when you are sending the request.

The following sample headers are encountered the most.

Authorization: Carries credentials containing the authentication information of the client for the resource being requested.

Accept-Charset: This is a header which is set with the request and tells the server about which character sets are acceptable by the client.

Content-Type: Indicates the media type (text/HTML or text/JSON, XML/custom) of the response sent to the client by the server, this will help the client in processing the response body correctly.Content-Type: Indicates the type of content (JSON, xml, Custom, form data, text/plain) sent to client API by Luma server. 

Accept: Indicates the data type of the response (JSON, xml, Custom, form data, text/plain) to be received from the client API. 

Outbound Mapping

Request payload needs to be passed to complete the request.

...

  • Advanced: Select this check box if you want to pass all the information you put in the text area gets sent with the request, this is mainly used in case if the attribute value cannot be populated directly and the value is again another JSON (Nested JSON). As shown below in the eg. if we need to populate multiple custom attributes in a ticket using the payload then the Advanced section will look as below. 

    Code Block
    {   
      "Impact":"@context.Impact",
      "Description":"@context.Description",
      "CustomAttributes":{ 
         "Business_Criticality":"@context.Business_Criticality",
         "Active_Directory_Account_Data":"@context.Active_Directory_Account_Data"  
     },
      "Priority":"@context.Priority",
      "DescriptionLong":"@context.Details",
      "Severity":"@context.Severity",
      "Urgency":"@context.Urgency",
      "Categorization":"@context.Categorization"
    }


  • As shown in the above example, for Custom Attributes Key, the values we are passing are for both Business_Criticality and Active_Directory_Account_Data and the remaining attribute has direct values associated.

Inbound Mapping

Inbound mapping is done based on the response from the payload. An API response consists of the body, headers, and the status code. Currently, Luma processes the web service if the response is in JSON or XML format.

...

  • Key: In the form data, Key represents an attribute.
  • Value: It represents attribute value.

XML Response

Example: For a sample XML response for a payload looks like this:


Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entries>
          <values> 
                    <EntryID>INC000000867505</EntryID>
                    <Submitter>peter.hinchey</Submitter>
                    <Submit_Date>2018-12-17T16:12:39.000+0000</Submit_Date>
                    <AEC_Initial_Assignee>Roman Havryshkiv</AEC_Initial_Assignee>
                    <Assignee_Login_ID>v-havryshr</Assignee_Login_ID>
          </values>
   </entries>

...

 The above sample XML response will be parsed as shown below:


@resp.\\entries\values\EntryID OR @resp.\\EntryID

@resp.\\entries\values\Submitter OR @resp.\\Submitter

@resp.\\entries\values\Submit_Date OR @resp.\\Submit_Date

@resp.\\entries\values\AEC_Initial_Assignee OR @resp.\\AEC_Initial_Assignee

@resp.\\entries\values\Assignee_Login_ID OR @resp.\\Assignee_Login_ID

 

Response

It is the format of your output response. Once the skill is fulfilled the response from the payload can be configured to visualize in the three response formats. They are Card, Image, Quick Replies.

...

Payload: Data type payload.
