Quick Start
Set up your environment and discover your first source using the Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service REST API by performing the following tasks.
Step 1: Obtain Account Information
The username and password for your Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service account.
The URL of your Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service instance.
Step 2: Install cURL
The examples within this document use the cURL command-line tool to demonstrate how to access the Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service REST API.
To connect securely to the server, you must install a version of cURL that supports SSL and provide an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. For more information about:
Using cURL, see Use cURL.
Authentication, see Authentication.
In your browser, navigate to the cURL home page at http://curl.haxx.se and click Download in the left navigation menu.
On the cURL Releases and Downloads page, locate the SSL-enabled version of the cURL software that corresponds to your operating system, click the link to download the ZIP file, and install the software.
Navigate to the cURL CA Certs page at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and download the cacert.pem SSL CA certificate bundle in the folder where you installed cURL.
Open a command window, navigate to the directory where you installed cURL, and set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate bundle. For example:
C:\curl> set CURL_CA_BUNDLE=cacert.pem
You are now ready to send requests to Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service using cURL.
Step 3: Discover Your First Source
Use a cURL command such as the following to discover an MFT source named src1:
curl -u jsmith:welcome1 -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -H "X-ID-TENANT-NAME:ExampleIdentityDomain" -X GET https://jaas.oraclecloud.com/paas/service/mftapp/rest/v1/sources?searchFilter=src1
This example uses the URL prefix for the United States (jaas). For information about the URL prefixes for other regions of the world, see Send Requests.
