Integration API
To check molecules listed in a file against regulations, the Compliance Checker API was developed with three endpoints:

It has four parameters:
- file (mandatory): The file that contains the molecules to be checked.
- categories: Array of category ids which defines the regulations. Leaving it empty results in checking against all regulations.
- date: Should be set in case molecules need to be checked against past regulations. Expected date format is 'yyyyMMdd'. Leaving it empty is the same as setting today's date.
- description (optional): Short description can be provided for the input.
The output elements of the response:
- jobId: The identifier of the job created to process the input file.
- url: The url where the information of the generated job can be requested from.
