In this tutorial we demonstrate the REST Request node that has been provided in IBM Integration Bus V10.0.0.6. This new feature allows you to easily interact with external services without needing to configure extra nodes in your message flow. Simon Stone recently published a blog post ‘Consuming REST APIs by using the new REST Request nodes in IBM Integration Bus’ which complements this tutorial. You may also like to refer to the second tutorial in this series Consuming REST APIs by using REST Request nodes with security.
