Creating a Service Connection from a REST endpoint

While creating a Service Connection, you will see various options for establishing communications with third-party REST APIs, Oracle APIs, and so on. In this section, we will see how to create a Service Connection with third-party REST APIs using an endpoint.

To complete this section, you must have the public external REST endpoint details along with the authentication details. If you don't have any of the REST APIs handy, you can use any from the following list. These are free and accessible over the internet:

JSON Placeholder APIs: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/.
REST Countries APIs: http://restcountries.eu/.
No code API: https://nocodeapi.com/.

You can find more on Google and use it.

For the purposes of this demonstration, we will use the No code API. In order to use the No code API, you have to create an account, which is absolutely free.
