In this example we will call a REST endpoint to return a series of rows that we want to use to populate a dropdown in our Volt app. I have chosen to use a free service, the Brewery Open API. Using Link we can create a service that will enable this content to be pulled into our Volt applications.

Connection
Launch the HCL Link admin page, http://localhost:9990/login (In my deployment I changed the port).
Make sure that you are working with the “_app_volt” project and “deploy_action=true” in the url. I set a bookmark that has the relevant url suffix, http://localhost:9990/workspace?_p=60a4454d8f331f240bfea01b&app=_app_volt&deploy_action=true.
Close the popup dialog that shows when the page first loads.
On the bottom of the screen click “Connections”, and then “New”.
