REST API
The REST Runtme provides a REST API used to run maps and flows that have been deployed.
V1 REST API
The V1 API has two different modes it can use to run maps. It can run maps directly, or it can run cataloged maps.
V1 map direct run API
In order to run maps directly, the .mmc file for the map must be placed in one of the directories defined for the map .dirs property in the tx-rest.properties file.

    - V1 map catalog API
      The V1 API allows maps to be cataloged by calling POST/v1/hip/catalog.
- Flow Command Server
  Deploy a flow from the HCL Link to the local filesystem using Execution flow server definition.
- Map Command Server
  To use the Map Command Server to execute a map, you will prepare the maps for execution.
- SDK
  The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.

V1 map direct run API

In order to run maps directly, the .mmc file for the map must be placed in one of the directories defined for the map .dirs property in the tx-rest.properties file.

Calling the direct run endpoints with PUT will run the map synchronously. Using POST will run the map asynchronously. The following endpoint is used to run the map.

/v1/hip/maps/direct/{relativePath}/{mapName}

Where {mapName} is the filename of the .mmc file not including the extension, and {relativePath} is the relative path from the map.dirs directory to the .mmc file on the filesystem.
