If you want to retrieve information about usage history for a single feature, we recommend that you use the following URL request template.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
 GETGET /api/v1/report/usage-history/feature/${featureId}/usage-history/${returnType}?sd=${startDate}&ed=${endDate}&granularity=${granularity}$(additional parameters, as needed)

where

 - $ indicates a variable value that you can replace with a proper value, according to your needs

 - possible parameters are as follows:

There is also another possible endpoint to do this, however it is deprecated.

 - $ indicates a variable value that you can replace with a proper value, according to your needs

 - possible parameters are as follows:

ParameterRequiredTypeDescription
${featureId}Yesinteger

Specifies feature-specific parameters.

${returnType}
ParameterRequiredTypeDescription
${featureId}Yesinteger

Specifies feature-specific parameters.

${returnType}YesstringSpecifies the format in which license usage data will be returned. The format can be one of the following: json, csv, xls, xlsx or pdf.
sdYesstringSpecifies the start date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-20.
edYesstringSpecifies the end date for which the report will be generated in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-01-27.
granularityYesinteger

Specifies granularity of the returned data, which can be one of the following:

  • Quarter - 2
  • Month - 3
  • Week - 4
  • Day - 5
  • Hour - 6
rn

No

string

Specifies the name of the report that will be displayed once the report has been exported to PDF or XLS. For CSV and JSON formats this parameter will be ignored.
If you don't pass this parameter, it will be generated automatically for PDF and XLS types. If provided, it cannot be left empty.

filterNojson/string

Applies filtering license usage data on all fields.

To filter by string column, use the following format: 

Code Block
languagejs
[
	{ 
		"type": "string",
		"field": "lud",
		"value": "${value}"
	}
]

To filter by numeric column, use the following format:

Code Block
languagejs
[
	{ 
		"type": "numeric", 
		"comparison": "${gt | lt | eq}", 
		"field": "${lumin | lua | lumax | lbmin | lbmax | ldtc | hu | ft}",
		"value": "${value}" 
	}
]


fieldsVisibilityNojson/string

Specifies field visibility settings, like this:

Code Block
languagejs
{ 
	"lud": "1", 
	"lumin": "1", 
	"lua": "1", 
	"lumax": "1", 
	"lbmin": "1", 
	"lbmax": "1", 
	"ldtc": "1", 
	"hu": "1", 
	"ft": "1"
}

where "1" indicates that a specific field is visible and ''0" indicates that it is not.

Note that the order of the settings you make is important – when exported, the fields will be visible in exactly the same order you specify here.

limitNointegerDetermines the maximum number of data records that can be returned. The value must be greater than zero.
offsetNointegerSpecifies the offset of the first row to return.
orderByNostring

Specifies the field by which you want to order your data records. The field name can be one of the following:

lud | lumin | lua | lumax | lbmin | lbmax | ldtc | hu | ft
orderDirectionNostringDetermines whether the sorting results will be displayed in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

...

FieldTypeDescription

msgstringError message returned on failure.
fidintegerFeature ID.
ludstring

Indicates period of time for which usage information is generated, i.e. date and time for hourly usage and dates for the remaining granularity options.

luminintegerMinimal licenses used count for given date.
luafloatAverage licenses used count for given date.
lumaxintegerMaximum licenses used count for given date.
lbminintegerMinimal licenses borrowed count for given date.
