Developing InfoSphere Information Analyzer applications with the HTTP API

HTTP API overview
You can use the IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) API (application programming interface) to develop client applications that can access and author InfoSphere Information Analyzer content.

Using the HTTP API requests
You can perform many InfoSphere Information Analyzer tasks by using HTTP API requests. For example, you can add content to projects, perform data analysis tasks, retrieve analysis results, define and run data rules, and retrieve data rule results. You can also publish analysis results and data rules, define global logical variables, define and run metrics, and delete rule execution results.

Schema definition file
IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer provides an XML schema definition (XSD) file that defines the message formats used by the HTTP APIs.

HTTP API requests from the command line
You can use the command line interface to issue HTTP API requests and run analysis or data rule jobs, without logging into the InfoSphere Information Analyzer client.
