Reporting API
The reporting API is designed to enable you to pull reporting data in XML format, suitable for importing into external databases and applications. The data presented is the same as in the session reports of the /login administrative interface.
XML data is pulled by sending a simple HTTP request to the B Series Appliance. The request can be sent using any HTTPS-capable socket library, scripting language module, or a URL fetcher such as cURL or wget. Either GET or POST may be used as the request method.
POST requests must include a Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded HTTP header when supplying parameters in the request body, and the parameters must be url-encoded. Multipart POST requests are not supported.
When making consecutive API calls, you must close the connection after each API call.
The reporting API URL is https://access.example.com/api/reporting.
An XML schema which formally describes the format of the returned reporting data is available at https://access.example.com/api/reporting.xsd.
The reporting API is an authenticated API. For instructions on using authenticated APIs using OAuth, please see Authenticate to the Privileged Remote Access API.

The above namespace is returned XML data and is not a functional URL.
