The REST interface enables low-resource clients or those using unsupported technologies for the real-time client API to produce and consume messages via HTTP requests.
To activate the REST interface, set the optional parameter
Rest.Enable
of the MigratoryData server to
true
. By default, this parameter is false
.
You can test the REST interface using a tool like curl
that allows GET and POST methods to be invoked, and can pass
data into the body of the HTTP request.
The interface consists of two endpoints — produce
and consume
— which are detailed in the sections below.
