External API Interface

This section helps you to make an external call from microservice with samples.

Microservices  APIs are exposed as services to user Front end applications through the Temenos IRIS framework. To expose microservice business APIs,  IRIS uses its API infrastructure to route the request from the client application and interacts with the API gateway layer of microservices.

Similarly, to fetch data or execute any API interfaces synchronously in any of the Temenos products, it uses service adapter infrastructure of microservice to invoke IRIS API. 

Using Service Adapter

Service adapter is used to make synchronous API call from the microservices framework. You can configure the external service either through microservices developer or by deployment manager.

Microservices framework provides support for handling HTTP request or response, and it is extensible to support other protocols.

You can make an external call from microservice.

Procedure:

  1. Build HttpClientRequest.
  2. Use ServiceAdapter to make an external call by passing HttpClientRequest.
  3. Process the response returned from ServiceAdapter.
