The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.0 1 and newer, which introduced a new user interface (UI)improved the usability of creating API tokens. If you are using a version previous to v6.01, see documentation for previous versions. |
License Statistics users can integrate reports generated by License Statistics with their custom external applications by using the License Statistics API. The API can be used with a variety of different applications, across a number of programming languages and tools.
The License Statistics API is the best choice for system integrators and advanced users who want flexible, on-demand access to License Statistics data. To enable API access:
In order to make API requests, you must use a token, which you can generate as described below. API tokens cannot be shared between users. You can create as many API tokens as you need.
- Go to API Accessunder your logged in username, shown in the upper right corner of the application window.
- Check the "Enable API access" box and click Save.
- An API token, which you will need to make API requests, is automatically generated.
...
- Click Add to create a new API token. A dialog will open that lets you optionally add a description to identify the token. Click Save to create the token.
The token is automatically generated and added to the API tokens grid.
- You can add/edit an existing token's description by clicking the edit icon in the Action column.
- You can delete a token using the delete icon in the Action column.
Note that:
- API tokens do not expire.
- API tokens inherit the permissions of the user who created them.
- API tokens cannot be shared with other users; they may be used only by the user who created them.
