    Hi Ragu, your FreeMarker calls don’t need any adjustment because they don’t use HTTP to make a query. The API call is routed to the right place on the backend without needing the full URL. You should be all set on those.

     

    However, you might like to switch to use our newer ”liql” and “liqladmin” FreeMarker methods for making LiQL calls, since it is more convenient (no need for URL-escaping and URL concatenation.

    None of rest(...), restadmin(...), liql(...), liqladmin(...) use HTTP to make queries. They are server-side calls that don't involve HTTP things like the API proxy, hostnames, IP addresses, etc. As such there is no need to change any of them when switching away from the API Proxy.

    I have tried using liqladmin and I am able to get the results.
    If i use liqladmin instead of restAdmin or rest in community, will it work when they deprecate the API proxy server?
