testing the Event Portal REST API

[Magali_Boulet]

You can easily test the REST API of the Event Portal. Here is some examples I tested.
First, follow this section PubSub+ Cloud to get your access token (you’ll need it to perform all of these requests).

How to retrieve events from an application domain?

• First you need to get your domain ID: run GET on https://solace.cloud/api/v1/eventPortal/applicationDomains?name={nameOfYourDomain}
  you will get a JSON as the reply and you’ll be able to use the value of the id element
• then you can run GET on https://solace.cloud/api/v1/eventPortal/events?applicationDomainId={theIdYouHaveRetrieved} and you’ll get the list of all the events from this domain

How to create events?
Here is an example of a payload to create an event (this payload has to be sent with POST verb on https://solace.cloud/api/v1/eventPortal/events)
{
“applicationDomainId”: “{theIdYouHaveRetrieved}”,
“description”: “Customer Account”,
“name”: “customerAccount”,
“revisionComment”: “customerAccount”,
“schemaId”: null,
“shared”: false,
“topicName”: “myDomain/customerAccount/account/v1/{accountId}”,
“type”: “event”,
“version”: “1.0”
}

All these requests can be tested using Postman for instance (this is what I used).

That’s great, thanks for sharing @Magali_Boulet! I haven’t had a chance to play with the event portal REST API yet myself
Because the API is defined via OpenAPI you can also use this page to try out other parts of the API as well: http://openapi.solace.cloud/
