Repository HTTP API

The HTTP interface provides an easy way to implement the API for accessing repository objects. However, the HTTP interface can't be embedded the way the web services and Visualize.js APIs can be in non-Jaspersoft applications. Rather, the HTTP interface is used primarily as shortcuts or entry points to commonly used features or content. Typically, the HTTP interface is accessed programmatically by generating the URL that returns HTML that displays either the desired object (in the case of report execution and repository URLs) or the content of repository objects (such as report output in the form of content resources).
