Preface
As a business rules developer or systems administrator, you can use KIE APIs to interact with Decision Servers, KIE containers, and business assets in Red Hat Decision Manager. You can use the Decision Server REST API and Java client API to interact with KIE containers and business assets (such as business rules, processes, and solvers), the Decision Manager controller REST API and Java client API to interact with Decision Server templates and instances, and the Knowledge Store REST API to interact with spaces and projects in Business Central.
The lists of REST API endpoints for Decision Server and the Decision Manager controller are published separately from this document and maintained dynamically to ensure that endpoint options and data are as current as possible. Use this document to understand what the Decision Server and Decision Manager controller REST APIs enable you to do and how to use them, and use the separately maintained lists of REST API endpoints for specific endpoint details.
For the full list of Decision Server REST API endpoints and descriptions, use one of the following resources:
- Execution Server REST API on the jBPM Documentation page (static)

For the full list of Decision Manager controller REST API endpoints and descriptions, use one of the following resources:

Prerequisites
- Red Hat Decision Manager is installed and running. For installation and startup options, see Planning a Red Hat Decision Manager installation.
You have access to Red Hat Decision Manager with the following user roles:
-
kie-server: For access to Decision Server API capabilities, and access to headless Decision Manager controller API capabilities without Business Central (if applicable) -
rest-all: For access to Business Central API capabilities for the built-in Decision Manager controller and for the Business Central Knowledge Store admin: For full administrative access to Red Hat Decision ManagerAlthough these user roles are not all required for every KIE API, consider acquiring all of them to ensure that you can access any KIE API without disruption. For more information about user roles, see Planning a Red Hat Decision Manager installation.
