How to expose flows and existing rules as a REST service?
I'm currently in Pega 7.1.5, and have questions related to building the REST Services.
1) I do not see any wizard available OOB for exposing the flows or exisiting rules as a REST Service.
- Why is this feature not available?
- Would this be available in the future versions of Pega? If Yes, when and which version?
I am looking for something similar to : https://pdn.pega.com/support-articles/how-expose-flows-soap-services
2) Since the wizard is not available, it has to be a manual effort as we have to create all of the required rules. Is there an easier and faster way to expose flows or existing rules as a service? For instance, generating the HTTP services and modifying the generated rules to serve REST. Any thoughts or ideas.

From Pega 7.1.8+, Pega provides Pega API REST services. Check out this: https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v721/procomhelpmain.htm

Kevin - The intent over here is to expose the existing flows as Services using the wizard just like the way we create SOAP services for the existing flows using wizard.

As Kevin said, you can expose Pega API as REST services from from 7.1.8 onwards. However you can select 'HTTP' as service type on service wizard and expose HTTP service from Pega.
