Script Callout

The Script Callout policy enables the addition of custom JavaScript codes and Python codes that execute within the context of an API proxy flow.

Configuration

This policy can manage the function of Assign Variables, allowing the configuration of multiple context variables in the script, that is, addition or replacement/modification of payload and Context Variables.

A basic script is available for Javascript and Python in the configuration panel, which acts as a template. Select the JAVASCRIPT/PYTHON option from the Source drop-down to view the sample script.

As JavaScript is a single-threaded, non-blocking language, please avoid using Javascript as the source for those APIs that handle concurrent requests or dynamic message content.

Sample scripts

Below are sample scripts available in the script editor section.

JavaScript

JS

 // function definition
   function myFunction() {
    message.payload = '<Modified Payload >'; 
    message.contextVariable.'<context variable name>' = '<value of modified context variable>'; 
  }
    // function invocation
    myFunction();

Python

PY

 def myFunction():
          if(message.has_key('payload')):
             message['payload'] ='<modified payload >'
        
          if(message['contextVariable'].has_key('<context variable name>')):
            message['contextVariable']['<context variable name>'] = '<Value of context variable>'
          return message;
