GET (REST)
(Web Mining)
Synopsis
Sends a GET http request to a REST service as is used in CRUD operations to download data.Description
This operator can send GET requests to REST services. It can deal with returning JSON as a document, as well as returning binary data as a file.
By default, if a web service returns an error in the 4xx or 5xx range, this operator will fail. Sometimes however, some requests may be expected to fail, but the process should still continue (and for example return the error in the output document). In those cases, deselect the fail_on_endpoint_error parameter to keep the process going.
DELETE (REST)
Sends a DELETE request to a REST service. This is mostly used to delete a resource.
PATCH (REST)
Sends a PATCH request to a REST service. This is mostly used to update parts of an existing resource.
POST (REST)
