REST (URL Encoded) Function

The REST (URL Encoded) Sender is used to call a REST based web service endpoint with parameters and values encoded into the URL.

Parameters

Data is submitted to a REST (URL Encoded) web service using parameters. Parameters are encoded into the URL using name-value pairs (e.g. 'patientID=1234124'). For each parameter added, the following fields must be specified.

Field	Description
Name	The name to associate with the parameter or field being sent to the REST web service.
Data Type	For REST URL Encoded web service calls, the data type is always 'String'.
Source	Select the source of the data to be used with the parameter (Message Cache, Message Node, Variable, etc). System Date/Time sends the current date and time on the QIE server in the format yyyy.M.d.HHmmss.SSS, for example 2026.10.1.093205.123. The month and day are not zero-padded.
Value	Depending on the selected Source, the value is either a node path, a cache name, a variable name, or a static string value.

Timeout

The timeout specifies how long QIE waits to get a response from the REST web service before issuing a timeout error and aborting the web service call.
