Access REST API from trial instances
-
I looked through the JSReport Docs and found the api documentation which provides sample urls such as
https://jsreport-host/api/report.I am attempting to trial this software before purchasing. I created a free account and created the instance (example)
xxx.jsreportonline.net. If I try to curl this instance directly it redirects me to the sign in page.So I created a share link, which adds an access token to the querystring. There are a few sharable public urls I have found.
https://xxx.jsreportonline.net/templates/B1eiW8mB28https://xxx.jsreportonline.net/public-templates?access_token=[snipped]
I have tried a few permutations of these urls using the
/api/[template_name]schema suggested in the api documentation however I dont recieve a response.Is it possible to test the jsreport REST api from a free account's instance?
Is jsreport intended solely to be self-hosted from a node process? Or can it be accessed from an instance hosted by jsreport?

Hi,
I apologize for the confusion, we need to add better documentation to the jsreportonline.
Is it possible to test the jsreport REST api from a free account's instance?
Absolutely, there is no limitation regarding API calls.
If I try to curl this instance directly it redirects me to the sign in page.
This is probably because you are missing the authorization header.
https://jsreport.net/learn/api#authentication
It should look like this, it is common basic auth standard
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
Where the hash is based on username and password:
base64(username:password)With such a header, you can call for example
GET https://xxx.jsreportonline.net/odata/templatesWhen you want to render something, find details in the API docs
https://jsreport.net/learn/apiIs jsreport intended solely to be self-hosted from a node process? Or can it be accessed from an instance hosted by jsreport?
I am afraid I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?
