How to save data received via REST API in Pega
I would like to know how to implement data integration with a Pega app from an external system using a REST API.
I found how to create a REST API in the documentation, but I would like to know how to set it up.
- Preparing the destination database
- Creating the REST API
- How to map the received data
I used the following documentation for creating a REST API:https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/data-integration/creating-request-post-put-patch-methods-using-activity-implementation.html

@ShoheiU17402136 To integrate data from an external system using a REST API in Pega, start by creating a data class and defining the necessary properties to store the incoming data. Then, create a REST service in Pega under Records > Integration-Services > REST, specifying the HTTP method and endpoint. Use Data Transforms to map the incoming data (like JSON) to Pega properties. If needed, use Activities for more complex processing or business logic. After setting up the integration, test it by sending requests from the external system and using tools like Postman. Ensure error handling is in place to manage any invalid or missing data. Finally, review logs and use the Pega Tracer for debugging to ensure data is being processed correctly.

Thank you for your reply. I understand that this can be achieved by following implementation :
implementation
- Create a data class
- Define properties to store
- Create a REST service
- Map to Pega properties
test
- Send requests using any tool
- Debug using Pega Tracer
I'm beginner to Pega, so I don't know how to operate each implementation specifically. Could you share any helpful documents with me?
