Using RestAPI with dynamic endpoint URL

[notme]

Hi,

we are just testing Stimulsoft, so probably my question is really newbee like

In our reports we want to get the data from a backend via RestAPI. The response is JSON formatted data.
So I thought that the "JSON Data" source is the right one. But the endpoint URL can vary, e.g. in development the backend runs on localhost, in production on a "real" server.
We would like to use a parameter/variable instead of the fixed URL:

json.png (23.36 KiB) Viewed 1146 times

Is this possible, and if so how?

Thanks,
Christian

Hello,

You can use a variable and use in it path to JSON file.

Thank you.

Hi again,

we just noticed that variables in the URL work like a charm, but not in the Headers like so:

header.png (29.34 KiB) Viewed 1003 times

We pass the AuthToken as variable to the report, so that it can call the rest endpoint.
Is there any other way to get this working? Or could this be implemented?

Thanks!
Christian

Hello,

Unfortunately, in the Headers it is not possible to use variables.

Thank you.
