Issues with Creating a Microservice Using Infor BaaS to Call a Public API

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on creating a microservice using Infor BaaS that needs to call a public API. At the moment, I'm testing this by executing a curl command to a website and trying to call a public WSDL via REST. However, I encounter a timeout error when the service is deployed. Interestingly, when I run the same code on my PC using my IDE, it works perfectly.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I prefer not to use ION-API because sometimes it's not possible to use it, especially when the APIs are not well documented.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi!

All communication needs to go through API Gateway (=ION API). So there is no other options.

This information can be found in the "Usage Limits" chapter in the documentation.

I hope this answers your question.

Hello Joakim,

thank you! I will. do I need a swagger or I just use ION API as gateway.

My final goal is to invoke a WSDL but I would like to avoid any mapping in ION API. do you think it is possible?

You should be able to just use ION API as a Gateway, only an endpoint is needed. I don't see any issues invoking a WSDL. It is just XML over Http.
