NiFi design to include REST auth in SQL to JSON to HTTP POST

Hi All.

 

I'm relatively new to NiFi and would like a little help in designing a data flow that looks like this:

 

  1. SELECT from a SQL data source
  2. split/convert to JSON
  3. optionally transform JSON
  4. merge to 500 record batches
  5. POST to target via REST API (requires session token from API auth POST)

I know how to create this flow in NiFi. The part I'm having trouble with is including a step that gets a session token via the REST API auth endpoint. I can get the session token using InvokeHTTP no problem. I just don't know how to add the session token to the flow file(s) containing the data to POST to the API.

 

Thanks for your help.
