VAPIL Introduction and Getting Started Guide

Introduction

The Vault API Library (VAPIL) is an open-source Java library for the Vault REST API. VAPIL provides full API endpoint coverage for Vault integrations.

The VAPIL release cycle follows the Vault API release cycle, with three general releases a year. Each VAPIL release aligns with the features of the Vault API release for consistency and coverage.

Vault API version v21.1 is released, VAPIL version v21.1.0 is released
When defects are fixed, VAPIL version v21.1.1, v21.1.2, etc will be released
Vault API version v21.2 is released, VAPIL version v22.2.0 is released

Consistent integration solution with Vault API requests/responses

One solution to develop and support
Consistent development patterns that are similar the Vault Java SDK
Full coverage of all platform API endpoints
Expose API requests/responses in clearly defined Java classes, getters, setters, and methods

Dedication to documentation, available in Javadoc

Easily find API endpoints from Vault help webpage in the source or Javadoc
One-to-one alignment between VAPIL methods and the Vault API endpoint/documentation

Developer friendly

Easy to start, quick to build
Allow integration developer full control of design/implementation decisions, processing rules, exception handling

Developer Ownership

VAPIL developers are responsible for:

Following integration best practices with Vault and related systems
Using bulk and batch processes whenever possible
Respecting API authentication and burst limits
Exception handling

Support and Issue Tracking

Enhancements, Issues, and documentation update requests can be reported via the Vault Developer Community

Source Code

Source code is available on GitHub: Vault API Library

Getting Started - Hello World

Import VAPIL to a Maven project by adding the following to the project pom.xml file

<repositories>
     <repository>
          <id>vapil</id>
          <url>https://veeva.github.io/vault-api-library/maven</url>

          <artifactId>vapil</artifactId>
          <version>21.1.3</version>
     </dependency>
</dependencies>

Create a class "HelloWorld" and add the following code

public class HelloWorld {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                // Set the Vault Client Id, which is required for all API calls
                VaultClientId vaultClientId = new VaultClientId("verteobiotech","vault","quality",true,"myintegration");
                // Instantiate the VAPIL VaultClient using user name and password authentication
                VaultClient vaultClient = VaultClientBuilder
                                .newClientBuilder(VaultClient.AuthenticationType.BASIC)
                                .withVaultDNS("verteobiotech.veevavault.com")
                                .withVaultUsername("username@verteobiotech.com")
                                .withVaultPassword("password")
                                .withVaultClientId(vaultClientId)
                                .build();
                // Perform a VQL query and display the results
                QueryResponse resp = vaultClient.newRequest(QueryRequest.class)
                                .query("SELECT name__v, email__sys FROM user__sys MAXROWS 3");
                if (resp != null) {
                        System.out.println("-----------------------------------------");
                        System.out.println("Response Status = " + resp.getResponseStatus());
                        System.out.println("Total Records = " + resp.getData().size());
                        for (QueryResponse.QueryResult row : resp.getData())
                                System.out.println("Name = " + row.get("name__v") + ", Email = " + row.get("email__sys"));
                }
        }
}

Run the code and verify the results

-----------------------------------------
Response Status = SUCCESS
Total Records = 3
Name = System, Email = System
Name = Todd Taylor, Email = todd.taylor@verteobiotech.com
Name = Mark Arnold, Email = mark.arnold@verteobiotech.com

Now that you have a starting point, check out the sample code and go build your interface!

Sample Code

Instantiate the Vault Client with an Existing Session

VaultClientId vaultClientId = new VaultClientId("verteobiotech","vault","quality",true,"myintegration");

String sessionId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
VaultClient vaultClient = VaultClientBuilder
        .newClientBuilder(VaultClient.AuthenticationType.SESSION_ID)
        .withVaultDNS("verteobiotech.veevavault.com")
        .withVaultSessionId(sessionId)
        .withVaultClientId(vaultClientId)
        .build();

Create a Single Document

Document doc = new Document();

doc.setName("VAPIL Single Document");
doc.setLifecycle("General Lifecycle");
doc.setType("General");
doc.setTitle("Test Upload VAPIL");
doc.set("custom_field__c", "value");

DocumentResponse documentResponse = vaultClient.newRequest(DocumentRequest.class)
        .setInputPath(filePath)
        .createSingleDocument(doc);

Bulk Create Multiple Documents from CSV File

DocumentBulkResponse documentResponse = vaultClient.newRequest(DocumentRequest.class)
        .setInputPath(csvFilePath)
        .createMultipleDocuments();

Bulk Update Object Records (Input CSV, JSON Response)

ObjectRecordBulkResponse objectResponse = vaultClient.newRequest(ObjectRecordRequest.class)
        .setContentTypeCsv()
        .setInputPath(localPath)
        .updateObjectRecords("product__v");

Retrieve the Audit Trail for Documents in past 30 days

DocumentAuditResponse auditResponse = vaultClient.newRequest(LogRequest.class)
                .setStartDate(ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("UTC")).minusDays(29))
                .setEndDate(ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("UTC")).minusDays(1))
                .setLimit(4)
                .retrieveAuditDetails(LogRequest.AuditTrailType.DOCUMENT);

AuditDetailsResponse.ResponseDetails details = auditResponse.getResponseDetails();
System.out.println("Offset = " + details.getOffset());
System.out.println("Limit = " + details.getLimit());
System.out.println("Size = " + details.getSize());
System.out.println("Total = " + details.getTotal());
System.out.println("Object/Name = " + details.getDetailsObject().getName());
System.out.println("Object/Label = " + details.getDetailsObject().getLabel());
System.out.println("Object/Url = " + details.getDetailsObject().getUrl());

System.out.println("Items ****");
for (DocumentAuditResponse.DocumentAudit audit : auditResponse.getData()) {
        System.out.println("\n**** Data Item **** ");
        System.out.println("id = " + audit.getId());
        System.out.println("timestamp = " + audit.getTimestamp());
        System.out.println("UserName = " + audit.getUserName());
        System.out.println("Full Name = " + audit.getFullName());
        System.out.println("Action = " + audit.getAction());
        System.out.println("Item = " + audit.getItem());
        System.out.println("Field Name = " + audit.getFieldName());
        System.out.println("Workflow Name = " + audit.getWorkflowName());
        System.out.println("Task Name = " + audit.getTaskName());
        System.out.println("Signature Meaning = " + audit.getSignatureMeaning());
        System.out.println("View License = " + audit.getViewLicense());
        System.out.println("Job Instance ID = " + audit.getJobInstanceId());
        System.out.println("Doc ID = " + audit.getDocId());
        System.out.println("Version = " + audit.getVersion());
        System.out.println("Document Url = " + audit.getDocumentUrl());
        System.out.println("Event Description = " + audit.getEventDescription());
