License Statistics offers a web-based API which communicates through the 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.
The License Statistics API is especially useful for system integrators and advanced users who want to get even more flexibility from License Statistics. The 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.
