How to change the response content type in ION API Swagger Documentation

Legacy Contributor

Hi All,

Good Day .

I working on Sales force Integration, while going through the Sales force Rest API documentation i have seen there is option of supported formats JSON or XML.

I have configured Sales force  suite in ION Gateway and while testing the Swagger documentation i saw response content type only application/json.

Can any one suggest me, how i could change it to application/xml format ?

If you want your API to provide XML as response, first of all the API should be capable of that. Usually the target supports multiple type of response types and they are expressed in the documentation. And the client can indicate its preference on their request. The target will try to respect that, if its able to support it. This is how it generally works on the REST world.

So the simple answer to your question: This is controlled by the API provider and it must be specified via the swagger documentation.

If the target is not able to deliver in the format you expect, then you can consider using a transformation policy on the response (or Request) layer tin the ION API gateway o convert XML to JSON or vice versa. If you are calling the API from a ION doc flow, then the ION API connection point also has options to convert XML to JSON automatically..
