Setting up Db2 REST server metadata on Cloud Pak for Data

Before application programmers can create REST services, they need to set up the REST server metadata.

You need to issue the following REST call. If the schema property is omitted, the REST metadata is created in the schema DB2REST.

def setup_metadata():
    #If the schema is not specified DB2REST will be used. 
    schema = ""
    
    url = "https://%s:%s/v1/metadata/setup"% (restHostname,restPort)

    header = {
        "content-type": "application/json",
        "authorization": token
    }
    body = {
        "schema": schema
    }

    response = requests.post(url, verify = False, headers = header, json = body)
    if response.status_code != 201:
        print("Setup metadata failed")
        print(response.status_code, response.reason)
        print(response.json())
    else:
        print("Created setup metadata")
