REST APIs for rule specifications

You can expose a rule specification asset as a public REST API. Design a custom endpoint for the API, publish the endpoint, and invoke the endpoint to integrate the rule specification capabilities with external applications.
For example, if your organization generates a large volume of data in real time, you may need to perform frequent data quality checks and run business rules on the data. To run real-time rules on your data, invoke the rule specification API endpoints in an external application. You can also use the API to periodically run rules on incremental data.
As a first step, you need to enable a rule specification asset as an API in Data Quality. After you enable the asset, you can design your endpoints, manage and control the use of your API in API Center.
