How can I send a comma delimited parameter through a rest data source?

pccDaveF8 hours ago

Greetings -

I have established a REST data source to an endpoint that requires a comma delimited list of identifiers as a parameter. A pretty straightforward GET operation returns the results for processing. I am grabbing the comma delimited list through a query, add the parameter through apex_exec.add_parameter then executing the call using apex_exec.execute_rest_source:

declare
	l_params	apex_exec.t_parameters;
	l_ident		varchar2(32767);
begin
	-- run query
	select listagg(stuff, ',') within group (order by stuff) into l_ident
	from table;
	
	apex_exec.add_parameter(l_params, 'ident', l_ident);
	apex_exec.execute_rest_source(
		p_static_id		=> 'marketstack',
		p_operation		=> 'GET',
		p_parameters	=> l_params);
	
	-- then process the result
end;

The “ident” parameter is a URL query string, as required by the endpoint.

Unfortunately apex_exec.add_parameters() (for good and secure reasons) escapes the commas in the list, which causes the endpoint to fail. Is there a way to establish an un-escaped parameter to send and still use apex_exec.execute_rest_source()?

Thanks for your help.
