Mapping the Studio REST playdataByID URLs to Specific REST Services
Map a specific path for each REST service, paying particular attention to what is passed into each one and how. The following steps illustrate one method for connecting your client application with the REST service that you have created using Studio.
To map playdataByID
1. Open the ACTdata Web service.
2. Select the REST tab.
3. In the Operations portion of the screen, select the playdataByID procedure.
4. In the lower portion of the Operations area, double-click to select the value of the HTTP/XML endpoint.
5. Copy that endpoint URL into your REST client application development tool.
For example using the Firefox RESTClient, you can test the playdataByID operation.
a. Make sure that the Method is set to GET.
b. Replace “{id_arg}” with 3.
For an even cleaner URL path, try replacing “id_arg={id_arg}” with 3.
c. Click SEND.
d. Type the Studio username and password for the user with access to the REST service.
e. Select the Response Body (Raw) tab.
6. Finish development of your REST client.
The exact steps that need to be done and the order in which they need to be done depends on what tool you have chosen.
