REST API
The REST API resource allows tasks to connect to a HTTP service; it typically embodies a base URL as
well as e.g. headers that should be included on HTTP requests. For a high-level introduction to
resources, see the resources page.
Creating a REST API resource
Creating a REST API resource
To create a new REST API resource, visit
resources for your team, click the "New" button,
and select the REST API resource type. Enter your connection details in the form:

Name should be a human-readable name for your resource.
Base URL should be the the URL of the REST server you want to connect to. It may contain a path.
(It should not end in a slash—tasks that use this resource will have a leading slash in the path.)
Any headers defined at the resource level will be included on all requests that use this
resource, unless they are overridden by the task or session block.
Private networking
Private networking
To connect to a REST API inside a private VPC, you can self-host the agent
and run the agent within your own VPC. Since tasks and REST requests run on agents, these tasks will
run from within your network and be able to connect.
Accessing from tasks
Accessing from tasks
You can issue REST requests from tasks by using the REST SDK. See
REST SDK reference for more information.
