Anyone using the Information Builders 'Adapter for REST'?

If so, could you share your experience generally?

I'm looking at the 'Using the Adapter for REST' chapter, in the 'Adapter Administration' manual, for information, and I thought I'd check FocalPoint as well.

'MATLAB Production Server' has a RESTful API, that we might want to use to get data from MATLAB functions, into our WF apps.

We use REST Adapters..

Pretty straight forward. Just put the WSDL address in the URL..

https://server/product/servername?WSDL

Building out the synonyms can be frustrating if you have dynamic responses, but you can have "fields" that don't get responded all the time and if they don't exist, the Synonym will ignore the field.

Ditto with Gavin.

We use Rest with Report Caster and Change Management and getting the right calls is frustrating.

I've almost, out side of a couple of tweaks, have become a master and creating these synonyms by hand. If you need help brother, let me know.
