I. Activiti REST API Overview

Activiti Engine includes a REST API that can be used by: - deploying the activiti-rest.war file to a servlet container, - or including the servlet and it’s mapping in the application and add all activiti-rest dependencies to the classpath.

By default the Activiti Engine will connect to an in-memory H2 database, so with Spring Boot, we just need to add dependency as below to make it run:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
	<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
	<artifactId>activiti-spring-boot-starter-basic</artifactId>
	<version>5.22.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-rest-api</artifactId>
	<version>5.17.0</version>
</dependency>

Activiti REST API supports:

  • Deployment: get/create/delete Deployments, get resources inside a Deployment.
  • <li><strong>Process Definition</strong>: get one or list of Process Definitions, get resource content or BPMN model of a Process Definition, activate/suspend, get/add/delete candidate starters.</li>
    
    <li><strong>Model</strong>: get/update/create/delete Models, get/set editor source for a Model.</li>
    
    <li><strong>Process Instance</strong>: get/delete/activate/suspend Process Instances, add/remove Users, get/create/update Variables.</li>
    
    <li><strong>Execution</strong>: get Executions, execute an action or get active activities, query, get/create/update Variables.</li>
    
    <li><strong>Task</strong>: get/update/delete Tasks, query for Tasks, get/create/update Variables, get/create/delete identity links, get Events, get/create/delete Attachments.</li>
    
    <li><strong>History</strong>: get/delete/query for Historic Process Instances, Task Instances, Activities Instances, Variables Intances.</li>
    
    <li><strong>User</strong> & <strong>Group</strong>: get/create/update/delete information.</li>
    
    <li><strong>Database Table</strong>, <strong>Engine</strong>, <strong>Runtime</strong>, <strong>Job</strong>...</li>

In the example, we will test some of them to see how it works.

II. Practice

1. Technology

- Java 1.8 - Maven 3.3.9 - Spring Tool Suite – Version 3.8.4.RELEASE - Spring Boot: 1.5.3.RELEASE

2. Step by step

2.1 Create Spring Boot project

Using Spring Tool Suite/Eclipse to create Project and add Dependencies to pom.xml file:

What is REST API? An Overview | Liquid Web

What is REST?

The REST acronym is defined as a “REpresentational State Transfer” and is designed to take advantage of existing HTTP protocols when used for Web APIs. It is very flexible in that it is not tied to resources or methods and has the ability to handle different calls and data formats. Because REST API is not constrained to an XML format like SOAP, it can return multiple other formats depending on what is needed. If a service adheres to this style, it is considered a “RESTful” application. REST allows components to access and manage functions within another application.

REST was initially defined in a dissertation by Roy Fielding’s twenty years ago. He proposed these standards as an alternative to SOAP (The Simple Object Access Protocol is a simple standard for accessing objects and exchanging structured messages within a distributed computing environment). REST (or RESTful) defines the general rules used to regulate the interactions between web apps utilizing the HTTP protocol for CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) operations.

What is an API?

An API (or Application Programming Interface) provides a method of interaction between two systems.

What is a RESTful API?

A RESTful API (or application program interface) uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE data following the REST standards. This allows two pieces of software to communicate with each other. In essence, REST API is a set of remote calls using standard methods to return data in a specific format.

The systems that interact in this manner can be very different. Each app may use a unique programming language, operating system, database, etc. So, how do we create a system that can easily communicate and understand other apps?? This is where the Rest API is used as an interaction system.

When using a RESTful API, we should determine in advance what resources we want to expose to the outside world. Typically, the RESTful API service is implemented, keeping the following ideas in mind:

  • Format: There should be no restrictions on the data exchange format
  • Implementation: REST is based entirely on HTTP
  • Service Definition: Because REST is very flexible, API can be modified to ensure the application understands the request/response format.
  • The RESTful API focuses on resources and how efficiently you perform operations with it using HTTP.

The features of the REST API design style state:

  • Each entity must have a unique identifier.
  • Standard methods should be used to read and modify data.
  • It should provide support for different types of resources.
  • The interactions should be stateless.

For REST to fit this model, we must adhere to the following rules:

  • Client-Server Architecture: The interface is separate from the server-side data repository. This affords flexibility and the development of components independently of each other.
  • Detachment: The client connections are not stored on the server between requests.
  • Cacheability: It must be explicitly stated whether the client can store responses.
  • Multi-level: The API should work whether it interacts directly with a server or through an additional layer, like a load balancer.

An API-First Approach For Designing Restful APIs | Hacker Noon

I’ve been working with Restful APIs for some time now and one thing that I love to do is to talk about APIs.

So, today I will show you how to build an API using the API-First approach and Design First with OpenAPI Specification.

First thing first, if you don’t know what’s an API-First approach means, it would be nice you stop reading this and check the blog post that I wrote to the Farfetchs blog where I explain everything that you need to know to start an API using API-First.

Preparing the ground

Before you get your hands dirty, let’s prepare the ground and understand the use case that will be developed.

Tools

If you desire to reproduce the examples that will be shown here, you will need some of those items below.

  • NodeJS
  • OpenAPI Specification
  • Text Editor (I’ll use VSCode)
  • Command Line

Use Case

To keep easy to understand, let’s use the Todo List App, it is a very common concept beyond the software development community.

REST API In Laravel Example

Hello Friends,

Today I will give you information about REST API, REST API is an application program interface that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.

In this tutorial I am going to perform CRUD operation using REST API and you can learn how to create REST API with authentication using passport in laravel 6/7 application. here we will get data from API.

Spring Boot Authorization Tutorial: Secure an API (Java)

Learn how to use Spring Boot, Java, and Auth0 to secure a feature-complete API. Learn how to use Auth0 to implement authorization in Spring Boot.

Learn how to secure an API with the world’s most popular Java framework and Auth0.

So far, you’ve built an API that allows anyone to read and write data. It’s time to tighten the security, so only users with the menu-admin role can create, update, and delete menu items.

Authentication vs. Authorization

To know what a user can do, you first need to know who the user is. This is known as authentication. It is often done by asking for a set of credentials, such as username & password. Once verified, the client gets information about the identity and access of the user.

To implement these Identity and Access Management (IAM) tasks easily, you can use OAuth 2.0, an authorization framework, and OpenID Connect (OIDC), a simple identity layer on top of it.

OAuth encapsulates access information in an access token. In turn, OpenID Connect encapsulates identity information in an ID token. The authentication server can send these two tokens to the client application initiating the process. When the user requests a protected API endpoint, it must send the access token along with the request.

You won’t have to worry about implementing OAuth, OpenID Connect, or an authentication server. Instead, you’ll use Auth0.

Auth0 is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications. Your team and organization can avoid the cost, time, and risk that comes with building your own solution. Also, there are tons of docs and SDKs for you to get started and integrate Auth0 in your stack easily.
