Obtaining feature list
You can easily list features recognizable by License Statistics by sending the following HTTP request.
GET /api/v1/feature/${returnType}
You can also use another, already deprecated endpoint, as follows.
GET /api/v1/report/feature/${returnType}
where $ indicates a variable value that you can replace with a value that best suits your needs and the possible parameters can be explained as follows.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ${returnType} | Yes | string | Specifies the format in which data should be returned. The format can be one of the following: json, csv, xls or pdf. |
| fieldsVisibility | No | json/string | Specifies field visibility settings, for example: { "fid": "1", "fv": "1", "ftype": "1", "lsn": "1", "vn": "1", "gtn": "1"}
where number "1" indicates that a specific field is visible. |
| rn | No | string | Specifies the name of the report that will be displayed once the report has been exported to PDF or XLS. For CSV and JSON formats this parameter will be ignored. If you don't pass this parameter, it will be generated automatically for PDF and XLS types. If provided, it cannot be left empty. |
| filter | No | json/string | Applies filtering to narrow down the results. To filter by a string column, use the following format: [
{
"type": "string",
"field": "${fns | fv | ftype | lsn | vn | gtn}",
"value": "${value}"
}
]
To filter by a numeric column, use the following format: [
{
"type": "numeric",
"comparison": "${gt | lt | eq}",
"field": "${fid | lsid}",
"value": "${value}"
}
]
|
| limit | No | integer | Specifies the number of records that must be returned. The value must be greater than zero. |
| offset | No | integer | Specifies the offset of the first row to return. |
| orderBy | No | string | Specifies the field by which you want to order your data records. The field name can be one of the following: fid, fns, fv, ftype, lsid, lsn, vn, gtn |
| orderDirection | No | string | Determines whether the sorting results will be displayed in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order. |
