Reltio Connect

We are looking for guidance on API availability or configuration to support a variation on External Match / Search Before Create.

We have started with this existing endpoint: Search for potential matches for entity specified in JSON with scoring and it does almost exactly what we want.

• Accepts a properly configured JSON representing a specific entity type (Organization in our case)
• Keeps it transient (does not persist the data in Reltio)
• Accepts which Match Rules should be used to match the transient entity against existing Reltio data
• Returns an empty array (if no "matches" are found)
• Returns the "matching" existing entities if any are found, including which Rule returned the match and attributes/details for the "matched entity" (specified as part of POST request)

The gap is that it only provides the Match Score as part of the result set, not the Relevance Score for each rule.

Does anyone know if this API can also return the Relevance Score? Or if there is another existing API / service that would accomplish this task? We considered the External Match API, but it seems to require submitting a file (and then retrieving a file for results). We are looking for something more real-time. 

Hi Wes,

I think that's the known limitation of _scoredMatches API. Please check out the below API that should return the relevance score as well in the output:
