This is the first hands-on exercise to learn about the Syndeia RESTful Integration capability introduced in Syndeia 3.5.

In this exercise, we will use the open-source SpaceX Data REST API that provides endpoints to fetch data about SpaceX rockets, launches, ships, star links, and other missions.

Objectives

The learning objectives of this exercise are as follows:

1. Add a new RESTful repository in the Syndeia Web Dashboard

2. Add new requests to fetch data from the RESTful repository

3. View and browse responses to the requests

4. Organize requests into collections

5. Edit, clone, and delete requests

Preparation

This exercise assumes that the student has done the following preparations.

1. Reviewed the content presented in Introduction to REST APIs and Syndeia RESTful Integration

2. Able to access Syndeia Cloud 3.5 with a valid user account

3. User account in Syndeia Cloud 3.5 has RESTFUL WRITE permission (contact Syndeia Cloud admin to verify)

Exercise

1/ Login to the Syndeia Cloud Web Dashboard and select the Repositories menu on the menu bar.

...

14/ Expand the Default RESTful Request Collection. The new request Get all Rockets was added to the default collection since we did not specify a collection when creating the request. This request is a GET request and hence it is shown with a G icon.

...

15/ Expand the Get all Rockets request (G icon). Syndeia will send the request to the RESTful repository and if successful, the response will be shown under the request. In the figure shown below, the Request was successful and the resulting response includes data for 4 rockets.
