rest-client skillA
rest-client is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: Call external REST APIs from Mendix — the three approaches (inline REST CALL, consumed REST client document, generated from OpenAPI) and how to choose. Use when integrating with any external REST API..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# REST Integration Skill Use this skill when integrating with external REST APIs from Mendix. ## Three Approaches Mendix offers three ways to call REST APIs from microflows. Choose based on the use case: | Approach | When to Use | Artifacts | |----------|-------------|-----------| | **OpenAPI import** | API has an OpenAPI 3.0 spec — auto-generate from the spec | REST client document generated in one command | | **REST Client (manual)** | No spec available, or need fine-grained control | REST client document + microflow | | **REST CALL (inline)** | One-off calls, quick prototyping, dynamic URLs, low-level HTTP control | Microflow only | Both REST Client approaches can be combined with **Data Transformers** (Mendix 11.9+) and **Import/Export Mappings** to map between JSON and entities. No API to call against yet — or one you would rather not depend on while building? [mock-rest-apis](../mock-rest-apis/SKILL.md) covers standing up an endpoint you control and pointing the app at it. --- ## Approach 0: OpenAPI Import (Fastest) If the API has an OpenAPI 3.0 spec (JSON or YAML), generate the REST client in one command: ```sql -- From a local file (relative to the .mpr file) …

How to install
mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/rest-client@git:20260825.db9ee43mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/rest-client@sha256:f8775ae7e46cd2fbPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
