Stimulsoft Business Intelligence System | Forum

Hi,

we are just testing Stimulsoft, so probably my question is really newbee like

In our reports we want to get the data from a backend via RestAPI. The response is JSON formatted data.
So I thought that the "JSON Data" source is the right one. But the endpoint URL can vary, e.g. in development the backend runs on localhost, in production on a "real" server.
We would like to use a parameter/variable instead of the fixed URL:
Is this possible, and if so how?

Thanks,
Christian

Hello,

You can use a variable and use in it path to JSON file.

Thank you.

Hi Lech,
very cool - I like your system more every day!

Thanks,
Christian

Hello,

You are Welcome!

Hi again,

we just noticed that variables in the URL work like a charm, but not in the Headers like so:
We pass the AuthToken as variable to the report, so that it can call the rest endpoint.
Is there any other way to get this working? Or could this be implemented?

Thanks!
Christian

Hello,

Unfortunately, in the Headers it is not possible to use variables.

Thank you.
