Layer7 API Management

How to extract any specific part of URL path and it must be configurable. i know that context variable http.url.path gives whole url path. But my requirement is, say for example my rest url path is /services/{id}/accounts/{accountId} and i need to extract id and accountId from the path. The extraction data and its position in URL path changes for every operation. can anyone help me in this?

Hello,

I would recommend using RegEx to parse the URL or alternatively using the split variable assertion against ${request.url.path}.

The split assertion will produce a multivalued context variable that can be reference by index.

Thanks for the response. I am trying to use regex to parse the url. so, any example which solves my problem would be appreciable.

If you are simply looking for numeric values you can use something like \d or [0-] against request.url.path.

The output with these options will be a MV context variable as with the split. This may need to be a little more elaborate though in the case that the url is something like /id/name/accountID = /1/name32/2923

name23 would be caught here as well.

The split may provide a more efficient solution. 

Thanks for the example.
