Create a new web service to automate data access and exchange.

1. Specify the URI for the REST Web Service.
   Press the F2 to insert a Credential, Local, or System variable.
   Users can insert a single the Local or System variable for the entire URI or multiple the Local or System variables in a single URI. For example, $vDomain$/$vAPI$/$vParam$
   Note: Only a single the Credential Variable can be inserted for the entire URI.
2. Select the Method from the drop-down menu.
   Select from GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
3. Specify the Request values.
   URI Header: Key-Value pairs are explained below.

   • HTTPS: True, when the HTTPS connection is used.
   • Server URL: Indicates the main host or the server where the web service is being tested.
   • Port No: Displays the port number used for connection to the web service.
   • URL Path: Displays relative URL of the specific web service.
   Header: Key-Value pairs are displayed as applicable for the selected Method. Users can customize these header key-value pair using action buttons:

   • Add a Key-Value pair to a web service request, if the request has additional fields or parameters.
   • Delete a Key-Value pair by selecting the row and clicking Delete.
4. Click the Send Request. This will automatically fill in the Response and can be saved to a variable for ease of processing.
   If variables are used in the URI field:
   • When the user clicks Send Request, a message with a list of variables is inserted in the URI field along with their default values.
   • Users can modify the default value or assign a value if no default value has been set. Click Get output to send the request.
   Note: Press F2 to insert a Credential Variable to enhance security.
5. Specify the Parameter values.
   • URL: Displays the URL Parameters for the current web service request with Key-Value pairs.
     • Add a URL or Post Parameter to a recorded request, if the request has additional fields or parameters.
     • Delete a URL or Post Parameter by selecting the row and clicking Delete.
   • POST Parameter: Displays the Post Parameters for the current request. Applicable when Method is POST or PUT.
   • Authorization: REST Web Service supports HTTP Basic, Windows AD, and Default Network Credentials authentication types. Based on authentication type, add the authorization parameters such as the Domain, Username, and Password.
     • To use "logged-in" Active Directory (AD) user's credentials for authentication - leave all the fields blank. Logged-in user's AD domain will be considered for authentication purpose.
     • To use a particular Active Directory user's credentials for authentication - enter Domain, Username and Password.
     • To use HTTP basic authentication - leave the Domain field blank and enter Username and Password.
     Users can assign direct values, user-defined variables or credential variables for authentication fields.
     Tip: When inputting authorization parameters, ensure that the service supports that authentication type.
     Click Send Request and the Response will be filled in automatically. The response should be stored in a variable for further processing.
6. The Response for web service supports both XML and JSON formats.
   • Header: Displays the detail keys and values of response header for the request.
   • Body: Displays the response body for the selected request. This response body should be saved to an appropriate variable for testing of the GET Method.
   • Save Response To: This option enables you to save the entire Response Body. Select the variable from the drop-down and save the command. The selected variable stores the Response Body during the run time.
   • Save Header To (Optional): This option enables you to save the entire Response Header. Select the variable from the drop-down and save the command. The selected variable stores the Response Header during the run time.
