Enhanced reporting

Veritas Surveillance has introduced reporting endpoint APIs to improve reporting and analytics capabilities. Currently there are two types of reporting endpoint APIs.

Synchronous API: This API executes requests in a blocking manner, where each request is processed sequentially. Upon execution of the request, the server waits to complete the first task before proceeding with another tasks. The client remains idle during this time.

Asynchronous API: This API executes a request and continue to perform other tasks without waiting for the immediate response from servers. The server processes the requests independently. Client receives a response from asynchronous API with details to track the request. When the data is ready, the client calls the API to retrieve data. Veritas Surveillance reporting asynchronous API returns report status and report data location in response. The client uses this location URL to track the status of report generation and get the data when the report is ready.

Synchronous APIs do not possess suffix after the API name. However, asynchronous APIs are indicated with the "Async" as a suffix. For example, EvidenceOfReview is synchronous API name and EvidenceOfReviewAsync is the asynchronous API name.

Refer to the details below for the available synchronous and asynchronous APIs.

  • Departments API

    • Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/departments)

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • Roles API

    • Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/roles)

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • Users API

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • UserRoles API

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • ReviewerMapping API

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • MonitoredEmployees API

    • Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/monitoredemployees)

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

  • EvidenceOfReview API

    • Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReview)

    • Asynchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewAsync)

  • ReportStatus API

    • Synchronous method: Supported (https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/reportstatus)

    • Asynchronous method: Not supported

To utilize these reporting endpoints, the administrator must configure them in Veritas Surveillance. Upon successful configuration, Veritas Surveillance generates a base URL and API keys to ensure secure access to the reporting endpoints.

To securely access data, the primary or secondary API keys serve as passwords, unique to each reporting endpoint configuration. The specified IP addresses during the configuration of these enhanced reporting endpoints are authorized and permitted for API calls.
