6 REST APIs

The APIs are composed of a GET URI + resource + parameter (or parameters) combination.

6.1 GET Report Listing

This API is used to retrieve a listing of sub-categories and report names. An empty {category} implies a
list of all top level categories. Reports are defined in a hierarchical grouping of categories and
subcategories.

Ex: GET /{reportType} /{category}..

The following table shows a sample request for the top level web report categories. Notice that if the
Prime Performance Manager server has SSL enabled, you should also include the Authorization header.
