REST V2 Connector Overview
Use REST V2 Connector to interact with web service applications that support REST API. You can use REST V2 Connector in a Source transformation, Target transformation, or midstream in a Web Services transformation.
You can use REST V2 Connector midstream in a mapping to pass a single or multiple requests to a web service application and process the response data. You can also pass data obtained from multiple transformations in the mapping pipeline and process the data.
When you use REST V2 Connector midstream in a mapping, you first create a business service for the operation that you want to perform in the web service application. You then associate the business service in a Web Services transformation midstream in a mapping to read from or write data to the web service application. For example, you can use REST V2 Connector as a midstream transformation to perform PUT operation on a web service application.
You can use the following REST methods in source, target, and midstream transformation:
