parameterList

PARAMETER LIST

The parameter list's syntax is ["key": "value", "key2": "anotherValue", "key3": 12, ...].

The key must always be a text and unique within the parameter list.

The value can be of type text or number. It is also possible to enter there parser expressions that return either a text or a number.

The parameter list can be used to overwrite parameters set in the action configuration like the following:

  • If a key/ value pair is defined in the list and there is a query param with that key, the value for that param will be overwritten by the paramter list's value
  • If a key/ value pair is defined in the list and there is a path param with that key, the value for that param will be overwritten by the parameter list's value
  • If a key/ value pair is defined in the list and there is neither a query or path param with that key, this pair will be added as additional query param to the request
  • If the key is "body" and there is neither a query or path param with that key, this parameter will be used to set the action body
Output

The function returns a TEXT representing the following JSON:

{
	"status": 200 // Returned status code from the executed action
	"body": any // Response body that was returned from the executed action
}
