Consume Information Source/Access View via REST API

Hi!

Custom information Sources (QFACT) can be accessed by api, but not directly. The same goes for IAL objects. 

The trick is to create an Quick Report against the IAL view or the Access view for the QFACT, since Quick Reports are exposed as an endpoint/api.

Se example where I have created an QFACT based on an IAL, Created an Quick Report and read the data directly true an url endpoint. (you can use Postmand or another tool to fetch the data) 

Create an IAL (can be queried directly from Quick Report)

Draft and create an Information Source based on the IAL, this gives you an access view to query (can be queried directly from Quick Report)

Create an Quick Report

Find the API endpoint for the Quick Report

You can not use the api in the api doc info directly

use this endpoint that takes the Quick Report as parameter. Remember the parenthesis at the end.  

/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/QuickReports.svc/QuickReport_630009()

No you have all the data from IAL/QFACT available as an API endpoint.

Did you get an answer? I am looking for the same.

if we use available standard APIs for entities, I doubt we have same data as information sources. Any idea?
