Intro

Easily create Rest API clients by defining endpoint mappings and models that is going to be filled by JSON over HTTP

1. Getting Started

1.1 Create Rest Client

First you will need RestAPIClient.java object

RestAPIClient restClient = RestAPIClient.builder()
                                        .setBaseUrl("your_base_url")
                                        .build();

1.2 Create Model And Mapping

To know what is possible when creating endpoints interface please refer to Retrofit2 documentation

public class EntityModelExample {
  private String id;
  private String name;

  public String getId() { return id; }
  public void setId(String id) { this.id = id; }
  public String getName() { return name; }
  public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
}

public interface EntityModelEndpoint {

    @POST("/{account_id}")
    @Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
    EntityModelExample update(@Header("Authorization") String accessToken,
                             @Path("account_id") String accountId,
                             @Body EntityModelExample entity) throws RestAPIException;
}

1.3 Create Rest Client Endpoint

EntityModelEndpoint endpoint = restClient.createRetrofitEndpoint(EntityModelEndpoint.class);
// use endpoint...

2. Exceptions

• RestAPIUnauthorizedException - Token is expired or bad credentials were supplied (HTTP status 401)
  • Can be resolved by re-authentication or making sure that supplied credentials are correct
• RestAPIRequestException - Bad request (HTTP status 4xx)
  • Can be resolved by fixing the request to a valid one
• RestAPIConnectivityException - Connectivity issues (HTTP status 5xx)
  • Can be resolved by retrying or fixing networking issues

3. Usage

If your project is built with Maven add following to your pom file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.taboola</groupId>
    <artifactId>api-java-client-core</artifactId>
    <version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>

If your project is built with Gradle add following to your gradle setting file:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.taboola/api-java-client-core
compile group: 'com.taboola', name: 'api-java-client-core', version: 'x.y.z'

Replace 'x.y.z' with the latest available version from Maven Central
