The OData Client proxy allows to consume OData services but also pure REST services programmatically using ABAP. The following sample code can be used to perform more complex requests than the ones that are provided as code snippets within the ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse.

It also contains a sample for the consumption of a pure REST service.

This sample code uses the well-known Swagger Petstore Sample which can also be found on GitHub.

It shows how the OData proxy client can be used to also consume pure REST services that are no OData service.

In the ABAP sample code you will have to replace the constant petstore_url.

CONST: petstore_url type string value ‘’ .

with the URL that points to the hosted version that is described in the above mentioned GitHub repository or an instance that you are running on your own.

The ABAP code can be used on:

• SAP BTP, ABAP Environment
• SAP S4HANA Cloud, ABAP Environment
• SAP ABAP Platform 2021 and later
