Running the Cloud API REST endpoint generator

The REST endpoint generator is a tool that creates a set of generated endpoints for custom data model entities. 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 discusses how to run the REST endpoint generator. It creates or modifies the files highlighted in the following architecture diagram.

Configuration of the files are discussed in other parts of the documentation.
