Create Event

Use the POST method to publish an event on a deployed topic in RulePoint.

POST Request in JSON Format

Generate a POST request. For example, the following POST request publishes an event in a RulePoint application:

The createEvent REST call uses a deployed topic ID as part of the request URL.

        "lastPubDate": "2013-10-31 12:35:24 Z"
    }
}
