Is it possible to use a variable parameter in the REST API Modular Input add-on?
I've seen it's possible for the URL to get a variable token, but is it possible for a parameter?

thx, got it to work, I tried it before but missed that:

07-20-2015 23:52:09.680 +0200 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/rest_ta/bin/rest.py" Looks like an error substituting tokens: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found

A simple str() did the trick.
