Learn all about working with Reltio REST APIs.

An API or Application Programming Interface provides a method of interaction between two systems. Representational State Transfer or REST is an architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating web services. REST API is a way of accessing web services without processing.

Reltio provides a powerful set of REST APIs that support all Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations. All information in the Reltio system is a resource and has a resource URI. Resource URIs are queried with security limits.

• Simple operations: There are four types of operations over resources - get, add, update, and delete-that deal in a uniform manner with any concept defined in Reltio Cloud.

• Query options: Pre-defined query options can handle any resource in a generic way.

  If the request has a select parameter, there should not be any space between the query parameters.Being a REST API, there are four calls that are used:

Interrupting requests

You may sometimes want to configure timeouts for responses from the MDM Platform. A request timeout tells an external application that the operation may have failed in Reltio. Timeout response can then trigger corrective actions in the external application like retrying the operation.
