HTTP Get Method

The Data Integration Service uses the HTTP Get method to retrieve data from a REST web service. Use the Get method to retrieve a resource or a collection of resources.

When you configure the REST Web Service Consumer transformation to use the Get method, you configure the input ports, the method output, and the output ports. You do not configure method input.

Example

You want to retrieve the description and price for part number 500 in the HypoStores products database. The web service uses the following URL to identify a part:

http://www.HypoStores.com/products/ProductDetails?Part_No=<Part_No>

Enter the following base URL:

http://www.HypoStores.com/products/ProductDetails

The following table shows the input port that you might define:

Port Type	Argument Name	Input Value
Argument	Part_No	500

The following table shows the output ports that you might define:

Port Type	Port Name	Return Value
Output	Part_Desc	…<desc>ACME ball point pens, 12-pk, black, 0.7 mm</desc>…
Output	Price_USD	…<price>9.89</price>…
