Highlights
Stay connected
Use the Web Services plugin to integrate with any web-based or on-premise application that exposes a SOAP or REST web services interface.
Connect and consume APIs without manual code
Seamless creation, management and orchestration of Web-based APIs. Build and orchestrate cloud-native data pipelines for use cases such as data ingest, real-time analytics, and data import/export.
Flexible
Data can be received via XML or Json with operations supported by the web service using HTTP methods such as: GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, or OPTIONS.
Extensible
Compose and submit requests to a server and view and analyse server responses. Create a set of parameters to be passed to the target method and specify their values. Add non-functional behaviours such as security, aggregate multiple information sources or visually model the business logic behind your API.
