Connect to the 3rd party

Calling an external API in a workflow can help those who need to establish a connection between Cubedrive and an existing system. CubeDrive external APIs are based on REST, which provides an interface that allows advanced users to interact with other systems on the running Cubedrive system.

CubeDrive provides the following two methods to communicate with the 3rd-party.

• Get data from 3rd-party system
• Push data to the 3rd-party system

Get data from 3rd-party system

The client provides the APIs for their existing system to the CubeDrive. Based on the parameters set in the APIs, Cubedrive can call the external APIs to obtain 3rd-party data. In this way, 3rd-party data will be automatically injected into the client pre-defined form/flow in the CubeDrive system.

Detail parameters

• Http Endpoint： URL of the external system that needs to be connectted
• Http Headers： can be multiple name parameter pairs, transmitted in the format of Http header
• Http Parameters： parameters to be transfer to the external APIs
• Content Type： the specific encoding format of the parameter, such as: multipart/form-data, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, application/json
• Http Method： the specific the http methods, such as: Get, Post, Put, Delete

Push data to the 3rd-party system

• Http Endpoint： URL of the external system that needs to be connectted
• Http Headers： can be multiple name parameter pairs, transmitted in the format of Http header
• Http Parameters： parameters to be transfer to the external APIs
