REST API Overview

The JasperReports Server REST API is an Application Programming Interface that follows the guidelines of REpresentational State Transfer design to allow client application to interact with the server through the HTTP protocol. With a few exceptions, the REST API allows clients to interact with all features of the server, such as running, exporting, and scheduling reports, reading and writing resources in the repository, and managing organizations, roles, and users. The REST API requires credentials for every operation and enforces the same permissions and administrator restrictions as the server's user interface.
