Is it possible to get data from REST APIs in SpagoBI? - spagobi

Question

I try to use Tuleap REST API with SpagoBI and it can't find any information.
So, is it possible to get data from REST APIs in SpagoBI?
Thanks for your answer,
Sandra

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. I've spent a while trying to get this working.
Below is a link with the technique that worked for me.
In short:
I'm using a Script Data-Set, the Groovy language, and the Groovy WSLite web service library. This required updating the version of Groovy shipped with SpagoBI and dropping in the Groovy WSLite library.
The Groovy script retrieves any parameters passed
Makes the web service calls with the parameters
Parses the results
Creates the output in SpagoBI's DataSet XML format
SpagoBI DataSet REST Webservice via Groovy
//Sample code: Using Groovy and Groovy WSLite to call a RESTful web service
//Then, the response is parsed and returned in SpagoBI DataSet's XML format
import wslite.rest.*
def param_ip = parameters['param_ip'] ?: ''
def client = new RESTClient("http://ip-api.com/json/${param_ip.toString()}")
def response = client.get()
assert response.statusCode == 200
def str = response.json
"""
<ROWS>
<ROW
params="${parameters['param_ip'].toString()}"
status="${str.status.toString()}"
country="${str.country.toString()}"
countryCode="${str.countryCode.toString()}"
region="${str.region.toString()}"
regionName="${str.regionName.toString()}"
city="${str.city.toString()}"
zip="${str.zip.toString()}"
lat="${str.lat.toString()}"
lon="${str.lon.toString()}"
timezone="${str.timezone.toString()}"
isp="${str.isp.toString()}"
org="${str.org.toString()}"
as="${str.as.toString()}"
/>
</ROWS>
""".toString()

It is possible to use REST 2.0 API, but you have to have FIWARE version of SpagoBI.
Versions are the same, excpet that FIWARE have REST API services.
Check this links:
