Possibility to attach Rules to Rule Categories when using the REST API
Added by Bas B almost 4 years ago.
Updated over 3 years ago.
Suggestion strength:
Require - I need this to use Rudder as I intend
Description
Hello,
At this moment, the Rudder API does not expose endpoint capabilities to attach a rule to a rule category with the Rest API. The Rudder Console does allow this.
It would be very nice to make this feature available through the REST API. It will bring the capabilities to automatically create and organize rules with the Rule Categories.
Regards, Bas

Hi Bas,
It's possible to do it, but indeed the doc is not mentionning it
To change the category of a rule, you need to update its "category" field with the id of the category, as follow
# curl --header "X-API-Token: 3tSnPlnbEiknLxslYlaP1TaHqalxhjvV" --request POST 'https://localhost/rudder/api/latest/rules/38e0c6ea-917f-47b8-82e0-e6a1d3dd62ca' --data "category=c9dcb5bd-efac-466a-b525-ce442af93021"
{"action":"updateRule","id":"38e0c6ea-917f-47b8-82e0-e6a1d3dd62ca","result":"success","data":{"rules":[{"id":"38e0c6ea-917f-47b8-82e0-e6a1d3dd62ca","displayName":"test move category","shortDescription":"","longDescription":"","directives":["18c390c0-c193-49e9-844b-b91e7ff857eb"],"targets":[{"include":{"or":["group:a1cf3963-f1a2-496f-9640-4c38470f34bb"]},"exclude":{"or":[]}}],"enabled":true,"system":false,"tags":[]}]}}
