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. With API you can automate report generation and extract reports on demand in order to integrate them with other business processes.
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 is one use case for using API, because it uses the same API requests as the ones specified here to view and manage data from a web browser. 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.
