  • read_timeout: timeout msec to read content via http (optional, default: 10000)
  • max_retries: max number of retry request if failed (optional, default: 5)
  • retry_interval: interval msec to retry max (optional, default: 10000)
  • request_interval: wait msec before each requests (optional, default: 0)

Defining multiple requests in params

To defining multiple requests in params by using values or brace expansion with setting expand: true.

Simply using values array is as below:

params:
  - {name: id, values: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]}
  - {name: name, values: ["John", "Paul", "George", "Ringo"], expand: true}

The values is also rewritable with brace expansion like as follows:

params:
  - {name: id, value "{5,4,3,2,1}", expand: true}
  - {name: name, value "{John,Paul,George,Ringo}", expand: true}

Basic authentication

The following is configuring username/password for the basic authentication.

basic_auth:
 user: MyUser
 password: MyPassword

Paginate by pager

Configure like as follows to easily paginate a request:

in:
  type: http
  url: http://express.heartrails.com/api/json
  pager: {from_param: from, to_param: to, start: 1, step: 1000, pages: 10}

Properties of pager is as below:

  • from_param: parameter name of 'from' index
  • to_param: parameter name of 'to' index (optional)
  • pages: total page size
  • start: first index number (optional, 0 is used by default)
  • step: size to increment (optional, 1 is used by default)

Examples of using pager

  1. Combination of from and to

    pager: {from_param: from, to_param: to, pages: 4, start: 1, step: 10}
    1. ?from=1&to=10
    2. ?from=11&to=20
    3. ?from=21&to=30
    4. ?from=31&to=40
  2. Increment page parameter

    params:
      - {name: size, value: 100}
    pager: {from_param: page, pages: 4, start: 1, step: 1}
    1. ?page=1&size=100
    2. ?page=2&size=100
    3. ?page=3&size=100
    4. ?page=4&size=100
