Configuration
Installation and Licensing
The Rest API requires the distributed edition to be installed and must have at least 1 client license available.
The REST API is only available with a subscription license.
Security
To access the REST API, a client needs to log in. It is recommended that user security is enabled on the XLReporter project. If user security is not enabled, every user must log in using the “Guest” account.
If, after logging in, there is a period of inactivity, the client will be automatically logged out. The amount of expired time is governed by the Idle Time setting of the XLRwebpool application pool configured in IIS.
Templates
The REST API is designed to generate reports from templates that do not require any parameters in order to produce. The template should have no variables defined and be designed to work off the current time.
In the Template Library, a set of Push Report templates are provided that can be used out of the box.
