FAQPage Schema
How do I call external REST APIs from an InterSystems IRIS production?▼

You can call external REST APIs by configuring an outbound business operation using EnsLib.REST.Operation with HTTP adapter methods like GetURL and PostURL to send requests and handle responses within your production.

How do I create a REST service in InterSystems IRIS to receive incoming requests?▼

To create a REST service in InterSystems IRIS, you can build inbound services using %CSP.REST subclasses or EnsLib.REST.GenericService, which receive and process incoming REST requests within your production environment.

Can I integrate my ObjectScript production with third-party web services?▼

Yes, you can integrate ObjectScript productions with third-party web services by configuring REST operations to invoke external APIs and processing the JSON or XML responses natively within the InterSystems IRIS production framework.

What is the best way to expose internal InterSystems IRIS functionalities via REST endpoints?▼

The best way to expose internal functionalities via REST endpoints is by creating REST services using %CSP.REST subclasses or EnsLib.REST.GenericService to handle inbound HTTP requests and route them to production business logic.

Does EnsLib.REST.Operation support both GET and POST HTTP methods for external API calls?▼

Yes, EnsLib.REST.Operation supports both GET and POST HTTP methods through its HTTP adapter, utilizing methods such as GetURL and PostURL to execute outbound REST calls to external web services.

How do I fetch and process external data, like weather API responses, within an IRIS production?▼

You can fetch external data by configuring a business operation to call a public REST service using PostURL or GetURL, then routing the response through your InterSystems IRIS production for processing and downstream integration.
