How to create JSON request for existing PEGA UI
Hi Friends,
I need to expose case creation rest service and we have a UI in PEGA for the case creation and other team is asking the same way to invoke/create, now how do I create a request based on the existing form?
Suppose, UI form has 4 , mandatory fields and one text box where user can enter values separated by commas, second field is also a drop down and can contain the values, now same form I need to expose via JSON-Rest service, please suggest thank you

Pega has provisioned DX API for the same purpose, You can check DX API v2.
Pega has those APIs to create a case and then get respective UI fields/actions, so you can just use these APIs instead of creating new.
ex.,
API #1: POST ../cases -> you can use this API to create a case, you will get a case ID as a response.
API #2: GET ../cases/{caseID} -> To get case details ex., assignment and action details.
API#3: GET... /assignments/{assignmentID}/actions/{actionID} -> Gives you UI attributes of the action's(flowaction) section
API#4: GET ../assignments/{assignmentID} -> gives you the assignment details that contain actions that you can perform on assignment
Hope this helps.

@sharadk16837759 , You can use the same API I mentioned earlier.
ex.,
If your external application that renders UI(Let's call it ReactApp), wants to render attributes that from an assignment then they can call 'get assignment' API to get action specific details by passing assignment ID and action ID-> these details also contains the attributes from section that you are looking for.
Note: Just that React APP needs to store response details somewhere to make next consecutive calls.
Please find the attachment for more details.
Explore those APIs by creating a simple case type and then creating work objects using APIs via SOAP or postman, you will get a good understanding.
