In this section, we will demonstrate the use of the REST interfaces provided by SoftExpert Suite with the use of API Gateway. The objective is to present and configure the request authentication with API Gateway.

SoapUI, which is a tool used for testing web service applications, was used for the first demonstration. The image below shows an example of how to configure SoapUI using the RIS_CONTROL_INTERFACE interface for API Gateway.

▪Application URL: To use API Gateway, the Web Service must be called through the https://<domain_sesuite>/apigateway URL. The domain_sesuite must be the same as the one for user access to SoftExpert Suite. See further details in the API Key Authentication section.

▪Method = POST;

▪Constants = described in the input parameters of the REST interfaces, exemplified in the image as being classname, classpth and cdprod;

▪JSON sending data;

▪Authentication header;
