The License Statistics API (Application Program Interface) is web-based (it communicates through the ubiquitous HTTP protocol) and can be used across a number of programming language and tools. The API can be defined as a set of requirements and rules that specify how to communicate with an application.
It is noteworthy that using the API does not require knowledge of any programming languages. License Statistics UI, which you may already be familiar with, uses the same API requests as the ones specified here; therefore, you can generate the same license usage data using only API and you can use this data in many ways, for example, to automatically generate the reports of your choice and send them via email to your manager, a specific department of your company, or otherwise make use of them.
Please review the following sections for information about generating an API token, supported HTTP methods as well as details about the syntax for requests and responses.
