Clean and ready-to-use Data API for MongoDB
Query documents from the command line with httpie.
The GET request has two query parameters: filter to apply a query and pagesize to limit the response to two documents.
Here we use the brilliant httpie, a modern command line HTTP client.
$ http GET https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages?filter='{"from":"Bob"}'\&pagesize=2 key:demo
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
# other response headers omitted
[
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c50963e477870eb8258fa68"
},
"from": "Bob",
"message": "was here",
"timestamp": {
"$date": 1548785214114
}
},
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c50962f477870eb8258fa54"
},
"from": "Bob",
"message": "RESTHeart rocks",
"timestamp": {
"$date": 1548785199983
}
}
]Query documents from the command line with cURL.
The GET request has two query parameters: filter to apply a query (that needs to be encoded with --data-urlencode option since it contains the curly brackets) and pagesize to limit the response to two documents.
Here we use the immortal cURL!
$ curl --header "key:demo" -G --data-urlencode 'filter={"from":"Bob"}' https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages?pagesize=2
[
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c50963e477870eb8258fa68"
},
"from": "Bob",
"message": "was here",
"timestamp": {
"$date": 1548785214114
}
},
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c50962f477870eb8258fa54"
},
"from": "Bob",
"message": "RESTHeart rocks",
"timestamp": {
"$date": 1548785199983
}
}
]Query documents with JavaScript.
The GET request has two query parameters: filter to apply a query and pagesize to limit the response to two documents.
Here we use the fetch API.
const url = encodeURI('https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages?filter={"from":"Bob"}&pagesize=2');
fetch(url, { headers: {'key':'demo'} })
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => JSON.stringify(json, null, 2))
.then(docs => console.log(docs));Query documents with Java.
The GET request has two query parameters: filter to apply a query and pagesize to limit the response to two documents.
Here we use the unirest java http library.
public void printOutMessages() throws UnirestException {
var resp = Unirest.get("https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages")
.header("key", "demo")
.queryString("filter", "{\"from\":\"Bob\"}")
.queryString("pagesize", "2")
.asJson();
// get body as JSON array
var messages = resp.getBody().getArray();
// print out each message
messages.forEach(msg -> System.out.println(msg.toString()));
}Query documents with Swift.
The GET request has two query parameters: filter to appy a query and pagesize to limit the response to two documents.
Here we use the JSONSerialization to parse the response body.
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
var urlComponents = URLComponents(string: "https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages")
// set the query parameters
var queryItems = [URLQueryItem]()
queryItems.append(URLQueryItem(name: "pagesize", value: "2"))
queryItems.append(URLQueryItem(name: "filter", value: "{\"from\":\"Bob\"}"))
urlComponents?.queryItems = queryItems
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: (urlComponents?.url)!)
// set the key request header
urlRequest.setValue("demo", forHTTPHeaderField: "key")
// set request method
urlRequest.httpMethod = "GET"
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { (data, response, error) in
guard let dataResponse = data, error == nil
else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Response Error")
return
}
do {
let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: dataResponse, options: [])
print(jsonResponse)
} catch let jsonError {
print(jsonError)
}
}.resume()

Elegant Java Framework to extend the API
Implement web services in minutes.
Implement a simple interface and deploy the web service by copying its jar file into the plugins directory.
More examples@RegisterPlugin(name = "hello",
description = "sends a greeting message to clients")
public class HelloService implements JsonService {
@Override
public void handle(JsonRequest request, JsonResponse response) throws Exception {
if (request.isGet()) {
var content = new JsonObject();
content.addProperty("message", "Hello World!");
response.setContent(content);
response.setStatusCode(200);
} else {
response.setStatusCode(400);
}
}
}Snoop and modify requests at different stages of their lifecycle.
This interceptor applies to requests of the hello web service adding a timestamp to the response content.
Interceptor can be executed at different points of the request as defined
by the interceptPoint parameter of the annotation RegisterPlugin
@RegisterPlugin(name = "helloInterceptor",
description = "add a timestamp to the response of /hello",
interceptPoint = InterceptPoint.RESPONSE)
public class HelloInterceptor implements JsonInterceptor {
@Override
public void handle(JsonRequest request, JsonResponse response) throws Exception {
// add timestamp property to the response
response.getContent()
.getAsJsonObject()
.addProperty("timestamp", Instant.now().toString());
}
@Override
public boolean resolve(JsonRequest request, JsonResponse response) {
// apply for request handled by hello service
// when the response content is a JSON Object
return request.isHandledBy("hello")
&& response.getContent() != null
&& response.getContent().isJsonObject();
}
