REST Connector

[RFARDONK]

When a REST Connector is configured, what type of request is constructed in the background? Curl, HTTP, PHP, JS, etc. ???

Im trying to create a REST Connector to access RapidAPI DNS Lookup but it doesn’t return anything.

If i use the “sentence” provided by API on a browser it works perfectly. So i guess its the way HMI Draw build the “sentence”on the background.

Do you have an example of anything that would actually work?

I need it because the PLC Connector “Remote Host” says you can use “mydomain.dyndns.org” but it doesn’t work….so im trying to build a REST Connector that would translate the domain for me into an IP Address.

I already paid an Activation Key for my App and im starting to regret i spent $149.99 for a product that doesn’t have any support.

To check dynamic domain iP adress I use google api:

Rest Connector config:

Name       DyndnsIP
baseApiUrL  "https://dns.google.com"
method      "POST"
restPath    "/resolve?name=YourDomainName&type=A"
httpHeader  {"Content-Type":"application/json"}
requestBody  {}

to resolve address from response I use text field where value is:

if DyndnsIP.statusCode == 200 then DyndnsIP.response["Answer"][0]["data"]

I thin it Ii clear.

Hello,

Thanks for your prompt response

So i built it as

Name DyndnsIP
baseApiUrL “https://dns.google.com”
method “POST”
restPath “/resolve?name=thefardonkhome.net&type=A”
httpHeader {“Content-Type”:”application/json”}
requestBody {}

i triggered to rest but i don’t get a 200 as a statusCode ….. Am I missing something??

Ok,

I removed the and now im GETTING the RIGHT DATA in response.
So now i have to working with indexing the response which is not working at this time…

Im getting closer…

Any advise??

Thank You

I tested Your domain and get correct status code 200,

check again this:

restPath “/resolve?name=thefardonkhome.net&type=A”

[grzegorz914]

create texFielde where value is:
if DyndnsIP.statusCode == 200 then DyndnsIP.response["Answer"][0]["data"] else "data error"

if all working OK the value will be Your IP adress.
