Evidence Of Review Async API

EvidenceOfReviewAsync

This API submits the report generation request which executes asynchronously. Result of this API contains identifier for report, status and location for retrieving the report data.

The report identifier and locations in the result can be used to track the report generation operation.

Note:

Prior to Veritas Surveillance 5.2, there were two separate reporting endpoint APIs: EvidenceOfReviewByDept and EvidenceOfReviewByUsers. These have now been combined into a single API called EvidenceOfReview, providing the same reports in one place.

To use the EvidenceOfReviewAsync API, follow the steps below:

  1. Call the EvidenceOfReviewAsync API to submit report generation request.

    This asynchronous API supports GET and POST query methods. Use any of the following as needed:

    GET https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewAsync

    POST https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewAsync

    Sample input

    • GET https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/ EvidenceOfReviewAsync?ReportName=<name of report>&StartDate= <YYYY-MM-DD>&EndDate=<YYYY-MM-DD>&Departments=[<DeptID1>,<DeptID2>,...] &Users=[<UserID1>,<UserID2>,...]&MessageTypes=[<MessageTypeID1>,<MessageTypeID2>,...] &MessageDirections=[<MessageDirectionID1>, <MessageDirectionID2>, ...] &CaptureTypes=[<CaptureTypeID1>, <CaptureTypeID2>,...]

    • GET https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/ EvidenceOfReviewAsync?ReportName=TestReport1&StartDate=2024-01-01&EndDate=2024-06-30 &Departments=[101, 102]&MessageTypes=[1,7]&MessageDirections=[1,2] &CaptureTypes=[6,99]

    • POST https://<Reporting endpoint Base URL>/odata/EvidenceOfReviewAsync
