Supported DataSource Info
-------------------------
In order to use the Http connector, the following dependencies are required.
They can be downloaded via install-plugin.sh or from the Maven central repository.
| Datasource | Supported Versions | Dependency |
|------------|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Http | universal | [Download](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.seatunnel/seatunnel-connectors-v2/connector-http) |
## Source Options
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------------------------|---------|----------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| url | String | Yes | - | Http request url. |
| schema | Config | No | - | Http and seatunnel data structure mapping |

## How to Create a Http Data Synchronization Jobs
```hocon
env {
execution.parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
}
source {
Http {
result_table_name = "http"
url = "http://mockserver:1080/example/http"
method = "GET"
format = "json"
schema = {
fields {
c_map = "map"
c_array = "array"
c_string = string
c_boolean = boolean
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
c_bytes = bytes
c_date = date
c_decimal = "decimal(38, 18)"
c_timestamp = timestamp
c_row = {
C_MAP = "map"
C_ARRAY = "array"
C_STRING = string
C_BOOLEAN = boolean
C_TINYINT = tinyint
C_SMALLINT = smallint
C_INT = int
C_BIGINT = bigint
C_FLOAT = float
C_DOUBLE = double
C_BYTES = bytes
C_DATE = date
C_DECIMAL = "decimal(38, 18)"
C_TIMESTAMP = timestamp
}
}
}
}
}
# Console printing of the read Http data
sink {
Console {
parallelism = 1
}
}
```
## Parameter Interpretation
### format
when you assign format is `json`, you should also assign schema option, for example:
upstream data is the following:
```json
{
"code": 200,
"data": "get success",
"success": true
}
```
you should assign schema as the following:
```hocon
schema {
fields {
code = int
data = string
success = boolean
}
}
```
connector will generate data as the following:
| code | data | success |
|------|-------------|---------|
| 200 | get success | true |
when you assign format is `text`, connector will do nothing for upstream data, for example:
upstream data is the following:
```json
{
"code": 200,
"data": "get success",
"success": true
}
```
connector will generate data as the following:
| content |
|----------------------------------------------------------|
| {"code": 200, "data": "get success", "success": true} |
### content_json
This parameter can get some json data.If you only need the data in the 'book' section, configure `content_field = "$.store.book.*"`.
If your return data looks something like this.
```json
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
},
"expensive": 10
}
```
You can configure `content_field = "$.store.book.*"` and the result returned looks like this:
```json
[
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
]
```
Then you can get the desired result with a simpler schema,like
```hocon
Http {
url = "http://mockserver:1080/contentjson/mock"
method = "GET"
format = "json"
content_field = "$.store.book.*"
schema = {
fields {
category = string
author = string
title = string
price = string
}
}
}
```
Here is an example:
- Test data can be found at this link [mockserver-config.json](../../../../seatunnel-e2e/seatunnel-connector-v2-e2e/connector-http-e2e/src/test/resources/mockserver-config.json)
- See this link for task configuration [http_contentjson_to_assert.conf](../../../../seatunnel-e2e/seatunnel-connector-v2-e2e/connector-http-e2e/src/test/resources/http_contentjson_to_assert.conf).
### json_field
This parameter helps you configure the schema,so this parameter must be used with schema.
If your data looks something like this:
```json
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
},
"expensive": 10
}
```
You can get the contents of 'book' by configuring the task as follows:
```hocon
source {
Http {
url = "http://mockserver:1080/jsonpath/mock"
method = "GET"
format = "json"
json_field = {
category = "$.store.book[*].category"
author = "$.store.book[*].author"
title = "$.store.book[*].title"
price = "$.store.book[*].price"
}
schema = {
fields {
category = string
author = string
title = string
price = string
}
}
}
}
```
