Overview of the Cloud API REST endpoint generator

The REST endpoint generator is a tool that insurers can use to create a set of generated endpoints for a data model entity that does not have endpoints. This could be either a custom entity, or a base configuration entity for which there are no endpoints. The tool generates a series of files that define the majority of the functionality for the endpoints. However, the insurer must complete some additional configuration.

This topic provides an overview of the REST endpoint generator.
For more information on how to run the REST endpoint generator, see Running the Cloud API REST endpoint generator.
For more information on configuring the resource definition files, see Configuring Cloud API resource definition files.

For more information on configuring authorization, see Configuring Cloud API authorization for generated endpoints.

Note: Guidewire does not recommend adding inline arrays to schemas. If a given resource has an array of related resources and you want to expose those related resource in Cloud API, Guidewire recommends using the REST endpoint generator to create a separate set of child endpoints for the related resources.
