Description of the illustration rest_rt_flow.png

This diagram presents the runtime flow of a REST Connector API. The first block shows the custom code API calling its implementation in the second block. The API implementation, in turn, calls the REST Connector API. In the third block, the REST Connector API retrieves the remote URL and applies the rules and security policies that were configured at design time. In the final block, the connector API sends a request to the external service. The return flow demonstrates the external service responding to the request, the connector receives the JSON request and relays that informat ion to the API implementation, which passes it on to the custom code.
