REST API's often require multiple calls to achieve a business objective. Eg get a list of objects, then get data for each object. This application allows you to transform data received from one REST call to determine other methods to call.
All this is configured via an XML file.
A simple example is fetching data for all respondents to a Survey Monkey survey. You need to get the set of respondent ids, then call the API passing in the list of respondent ids.
See the README.md file on github at https://github.com/imhogan/RESTFetcher for a sample you can try out directly from AWS CloudFormation
