How do I get/see the URL that tRESTClient is generating?

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have been doing data work for about 20 years now, but I am VERY new to Talend.

I have setup a tRESTClient for pulling data from Zendesk.

When I run the job it says it is getting a return code of 200 (which is good), but no results returned.

That doesn't make any sense because when I run the same query in Postman I get several hundred results.

So I am trying to troubleshoot this and I would like to know how I can see the URL that the tRESTClient is generating and using to make the API call.

Any idea where that is?

Thanks.

Can you post some specs from your job?

Can you give us a screenshot of your job layout? Also, can you connect a tLogRow to your Response and Error output exiting your tRestClient? Try running with that. You should be some output.

Hello rhall_2_0,

Thanks for the reply!

I have attached a screen shot showing my flow ~ it is VERY simple (I am a total n00b, remember?).

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

You are getting an XML response, but it is a response with no data. This suggests that maybe your input parameters may be incorrect (or different to those that get you results in your other tool). Can you show your tRESTClient config?

Hi rhall_2_0,

I apologize for not replying sooner.  My boss had other plans for me on Friday.

Attached are the two screenshots with my config.

I unchecked the option to "Convert response to DOM document" and the output is now JSON instead of XML, but it still isn't finding any records.

Thanks.

Can you put the whole path in the URL and forget about the relative path. I don't think you will need to use that unless you intend to use service locator.

Also, your external_id parameter is hardcoded to "none". Is this what you did in your other tool?

Was the URL in your other tool....

https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2/users/search.json?eternal_id=none

If so, try just adding that URL into the URL field and forgetting about the query parameters section to start with.

I tried that and got an error.

Please see attached.

That is a compilation error. It means that you have filled in a component parameter incorrectly. Can you show the tRestClient_1 component config (this is where the error is). It may just be a String parameter not surrounded by quotes, so check that first.

I think everything is quoted like it should be....
