7.2.1. HTTP JSON API¶
The Dashboard API provides non-interactive access to the Dashboard’s analysis data. This can be used to accomplish various automated tasks, e.g.
create and archive custom violation reports
create and send custom notification mails
export data for use with other tools
The Dashboard API is a HTTP API. At some places it offers different output format options, however the main response and error format is JSON.
You can access the API via Webhooks or from the programming language of your choice. Most programming
languages will provide some HTTP Client library and also some nice way to parse JSON data
and using the API should be straightforward. Before manually using this API from Python consider
using our Python API wrapper.
