Consume a REST API in 10 minutes with OutSystems

Modern applications rarely live in a vacuum, and almost always require access to external services, whether written by your developers, or exposed by third parties. And a majority of those services today rely on REST to expose and consume their functionality.

But consuming REST services can sometimes be challenging or fiddly. OutSystems provides tools to simplify and accelerate the consumption of REST APIs, and in this Quick Hits episode, Developer Advocate Cristiana Umbelino shows you just how quickly you can consume the Stripe payments REST API using OutSystems.

How can I upload the WebAPI I made in dotnet? I am trying to consume an API via multiple methods but I am having the error regarding the swagger issue.
