Best way to call REST via Data page
HI ,
when calling a REST via Datapage, How can we manage to dynamically set Endpoint ? Here I am trying to avoid use of Activity and rather use Datapage to connect o REST data source

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "dynamically set endpoint?"
What parts are dynamic?
If the endpoints are completely different, one option is to create multiple REST Connectors and set them as separate Data Sources for the Data Page, and introduce logic that chooses the correct connector for the correct situation.
Otherwise, the REST connector's ruleform should be providing you the option to make any part of the URL dynamic. You would just use a request Data Transform to set up the properties/parameters that the URL's values come from.

We are coming up with ways to make this easier to do.
For now, you could try putting a "wildcard" in the URL on the REST Connector, like this:
http://{endpoint}/resource
and in the path parameters configuration, set the "endpoint" parameter to be mapped from a property (perhaps on a Data Page) that changes based on your environment.
At runtime, the {endpoint} wildcard would be replaced with that value.

Hi,
Paramterize your Data Page for pyEndPointURL as String. And then set Param.pyEndPointURL before you call the data page.
Note: DO not set above in the request data transform. Attached image.

We can set the Resource path in the Connect-Rest rule using the Global Resource Settings.
