Building a REST request in RESTClient

Using RESTClient, configure a REST request by entering your information into the request.

Procedure

1. In the URL field, type the endpoint URL for the request.

2. In the Method tab, select the HTTP Method for the request.

3. If you set HTTP Method to POST or PUT, select the Body tab and type the request body in the box.

4. If you are using Basic authentication or are connecting to a runtime cloud or Test runtime cloud, select the Auth tab and do the following:

   1. In the Auth Type section, turn on BASIC.

   2. In the Username field, type your user ID (email address).

   3. In the Password field, type your password.

5. Click Go.

   RESTClient sends the request to the endpoint.

6. In the HTTP Response panel, review the Status returned from the endpoint, examine the returned HTTP headers in the Headers tab, and, if applicable, review the response body in the Body tab.

7. Optional: To save the request for repeat use, select File > Save Request and in the Save Request dialog, specify the disk location for the request (.rcq) file.
