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 easily 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 to display data in a web browser. You can use your generated license usage data in many ways, for example, to view the reports you care about most or send them via email to your manager, a specific department of your company, or otherwise make use of them.
