Introduction to REST Service: Pega How-to Guide

In its simplest form, there are only 3 things to create in order to implement a Pega REST Service, they are:

1) REST Package
2) Service REST
3) Service REST Activity

REST Package

REST Package basically provides you with a container for the REST service itself.

In its simplest form, a REST package defines the IP address, and the base URL of the Service REST.

Service REST

Service REST provides the implementation of the various methods that you want to provide, such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

💡	Note: In Pega V8.x, there is a new PATCH method!

Service REST Activity

What each of the Service REST method performs is specified using Pega Activity.

As you can see, it is as simple as that!

💡	Note: Of course, we can always complicate things, but let’s stay focus on getting the REST service up and running first!
