Making async rest calls from APIGEE X Integration

[pranav230]

I have a requirement to make an async rest call from my APIGEE Integration even if the integration is called synchronously from my proxy. Is it even possible?

I am not able to find any option in the integration to make a async call in the rest task. Any help would be appreciated.

This is possible, but not directly. The OOTB method available in the REST Task is synchronous. However, instead of using the REST Task to call the endpoint directly, perhaps you can use the REST task to call Cloud Tasks.

Cloud Tasks is meant for Async execution and you get benefits like retries.

You could also create a second integration, and use the Call Integration task to call the second integration in ASYNC mode.  In that second integration, you can still use the REST task.
