Listeners: REST

The REST Listener

The REST listener node is used to implement API oriented flows. It starts a REST server listening for incoming REST messages on the specified IP, Port, URL etc.

The code block below documents the format for the REST Listener node.

"listener": {
	"type":"rest_listener", 
	"isMessageGenerator": true,
	"host": "127.0.0.1",
	"port":9090,
	"url":"/hello",
	"allow_origin": "*",
	"timeout": 120000
}

Most of the properties are self explanatory. The allow_origin property allows for CORS controls. Timeout is the http timeout for the server.

The property isMessageGenerator must be set to true for this node.

The REST listener listens for POST messages only currently.
