What are the available adapter components?

Apidapter has an ever growing list of adapter components to handle incoming requests, manipulate parameters and their data, and send response. They include:

Body Components

• Change Case: Lowers or uppercases all the characters of a parameter's value.
• Check Apidapter SSO: Verifies the signature based on the Apidapter authenticated protocol.
• Concatenate: Join two parameter values together into a third parameter.
• Conditional Set: Set the value of a parameter if a condition is met.
• Convert: Transform the value of a parameter into another format.
• Copy: Duplicates the value of a one parameter and puts it in another.
• Jump If: Continue with another adapter if a condition is met.
• Keep: Removes all but the listed parameter(s).
• LDAP Authenticator: Looks up a user and password combination against an LDAP server.
• Math: Perform a mathematical operation upon two parameter values.
• Prepend Append: Add static value(s) to the beginning and/or end of a parameter's value.
• Regex Substitution: Match and replace parts of a parameter value.
• Remove: Removes the listed parameter(s).
• Require: Imposes that a particular parameter(s) exists.
• Set: Assigns a value to a parameter.
• Sign Apidapter SSO: Generates a signature based on the Apidapter authenticated protocol.

End-point Components

Request Handlers Types

• Auto: Accepts GET or POST requests.
• CAS: Accepts a CAS ticket.
• GET: Accepts GET requests.
• Jump To or Error: Accepts requests solely from other adapters.
• LTI 1.1*: Accepts Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI 1.1) standard requests.
• LTI 1.3: Accepts Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI 1.3) standard requests.
• POST: Accepts POST requests.
• SAML2: Accepts an Identity Provider response.
• Shibboleth: Accepts an Identity Provider response.

You can learn more about GET and POST here and LTI here.

Response Handler Types

• LTI 1.1*: Generate a response using the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI 1.1) standard.
• LTI 1.3: Generate a response using the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI 1.3) standard.
• POST: Continue to a URL passing parameters as a POST.
• Redirect: Continue to a URL passing parameters as a GET.

*Please note: IMS Global support for LTI 1.1 operability ended as of June 30, 2022. Apidapter support for LTI 1.1 operability is scheduled to end at the end of 2023.
