RESTful API: Null Object returned from RESTfulAPIGET call with multiple parameters in Impact 7.1.x
Impact 7.1, Fixpack 6 applied. Revising existing policies from GetHTTP calls to RESTfulAPIGET calls to RESTful API Data Sources. Majority of policies revised without issues. For one policy, the full URI for the RESTful service contains six parameters. Based on KC documentation, the attached function (redacted) created to perform the request. Passed syntax checks. When run, function is passed an instantiated object (NewObject()). However, following RESTfulAPIGET call, object members (status, data) are NULL. What is causing this?
Config Object expects its param member would be set to an object and not a hash of objects. Once this is done the correct output occurs with no null values.
Original:
Function ObtainData(Object){ Config=NewObject(); Param1=NewObject(); Param1['param1']="value1"; Param2=NewObject(); Param2['param2']="value2”; Param3=NewObject(); Param3['param3']="value3"; Param4=NewObject(); Param4['param4']="multiword value"; Param5=NewObject(); Param5['param5']="integer"; Param6=NewObject(); Param6['param6']="integer”; params = {Param1, Param2, Param3, Param4, Param5, Param6}; Config['params']=params; Log("Config: "+Config); Object=RESTfulAPIGET('RESTAPIDSA','/URI', Config); Log("ResultCode: "+Object.status); Log("Data: "+Object.data); }
Fixed:
Function ObtainData(Object){ Config=NewObject(); Param=NewObject(); Param['param1']="value1"; Param['param2']="value2”; Param['param3']="value3"; Param['param4']="multiword value"; Param['param5']="integer"; Param['param6']="integer”; Config['params']=Param; Log("Config: "+Config); Object=RESTfulAPIGET('RESTAPIDSA','/URI', Config); Log("ResultCode: "+Object.status); Log("Data: "+Object.data); }
