Hi, I’m using the hosted REST extractor to populate a data model from an MES system. One of the API calls I need to make uses a URL parameter “id” to get data for production jobs by their id like: GET /scheduling/v1/jobs/{id}/operations . The production jobs are already in my data model and each has a unique id value.

Is there a way to query the job ids from my data model within the hosted REST extractor so I can make a separate REST call for each job id? I was thinking the pagination feature would be the best approach, but I’m not sure how to query my data model from there to get a list of job ids to iterate through.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

This is not something that is currently possible to do with the REST hosted extractor, and we’re uncertain if we will ever allow this kind of behavior (i.e. making a request based on data present in CDF).
