Eloqua REST API - Getting Started with Java

In previous posts, we introduced the REST API with samples in DotNet, Ruby, and PHP. In today's post, we'll introduce a request library written in Java that we're opening up to the community. The code is publicly available on Githib at : https://github.com/fredsakr/java-rest-client

The library supports the following operations :

• GET
• POST
• PUT
• DELETE

Usage

import com.rest.api.*;
Client client = new Client(site + "\\" + user, password, baseUrl);

GET

Retrieve a single entity :

Response response = client.get("/data/contact/"+String.valueOf(id));

Retrieve (search) for a list of entities

Response response = client.get("/data/contacts?search="+search+"&page="+page+"&count="+count);

POST

Response response = client.post("/data/contact", body);

PUT

int contactId = 1;
Response response = client.put("/data/contact/" + String.valueOf(contactId), body);

DELETE

int contactId = 1;
client.delete("/data/contact/" + String.valueOf(contactId));

Please note that the code samples available here are my own work. I'll be glad to help support and fix issues in the code, but please understand that Eloqua will not be able to support this.

Thanks,

Fred
