output row value in tRest URL

[Anonymous]

My first REST call returns ID that I need to use in second REST call URL (GET request)

I thought in URL I can do something like:

context.host + row2.id

or

context.host + globalMap.get("row2.id");

but I'm getting "row2 cannot be resolved to a variable" error.

How do I reference this "id" in tRest and other components?

Thanks,

Dima

Hi Dima,

Just add a tFlowToIterate immediately before your map, and you'll be able to reference row2.id.

Thanks, Chris. That helps iterate tRest but I get 'null' for my ID

Can you either use debug or drop a tLog in there to ensure you do actually have data in the field?

It does return the correct ID

Can you show the entire job with the tFlowToIterate in place? Thanks.

Replace tLogRow_3 with tSetGlobVar and capture the id in a variable
Example: your_variable_name=row2.id

Then You can reffer the id in next call using globalMap.get('your_variable_name')

That's it! Thanks a lot. I guess I can only reference "row2.id" in tMap but for components like tRest I need to declare a variable

If you want your job to run multiple restGET1+restGET2 then ,
You should propogate the rowX.id to a t FlowToIterate & then to restGeT2, as suggested by @ciw1973
