REST API

IBM® Cognos® Analytics with Watson includes REST APIs to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on Cognos Analytics data, in compliance with OData Version 4

The OData standard defines a set of rules and guidelines that are derived from common web technologies that include HTTP, REST, XML, and JSON. The OData standard provides a rich, interactive interface to data that can be accessed by any OData-compliant HTTP application.

Full descriptions of available endpoints are available in the REST API reference section or from your Cognos Analytics instance at the following URL:

http://<cognos_analytics_server>:/api/api-docs

The reference documentation in IBM Docs remains static, while the api/api-docs references offer an interactive experience using your data.
