Reltio Connect

We need to expose one API from our middleware which will be called a source. While calling , the source will share a Party data. The ask is to check the record already exists and satisfying a Reltio match rule,

If it satisfy the match rule and record is already present in Reltio then that MDM id will be sent to upstream.

If not a Match and doesn't present in Reltio, then we need to create the entities on Reltio and send the MDM ID .

One solution is via external match. But as per my knowledge, external match API expect a file as source and generate match & no match file. As the ask is adhoc and for a single record, is there any way to avoid file handling ( creating the file from source data, check the match file, check the no match file etc.)

Kindly suggest if there is any other solution on this.

Hi Anindya, 

Yes, there are APIs available where you can provide the entity data information and then perform a search based on match rules. 

If your match rule is not using scores, you can use this API - https://docs.reltio.com/en/explore/get-going-with-apis-and-rocs-utilities/reltio-rest-apis/model-apis/potential-matches-api/search-for-potential-matches-for-entity-specified-in-json 

If the match rule uses scoring, then the following API will be relevant - https://docs.reltio.com/en/explore/get-going-with-apis-and-rocs-utilities/reltio-rest-apis/model-apis/potential-matches-api/search-for-potential-matches-for-entity-specified-in-json-with-scoring

Can you kindly review and let me know if this works for your use case or if you have any follow-up questions?
