Table of contents View Deployed Applications on All Devices with REST API (Installed Software) (version 2.0) Use INSTALLED_SOFTWARE to check the software present on each Windows physical monitored device, along with its version and deployment date. It includes all software deployed on the device but does NOT include Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications (learn more).. For example, you can check the devices which are not running the newest version of Lenovo drivers, which may impact reliability, or those which do not run the latest Windows patches, which can have security implications. Tip You can use this API to save significant licensing costs by checking the devices which have an app versus those which actually use that app. If they do not use, why are you paying for its license on that device? Learn more. Each entry from INSTALLED_SOFTWARE returns information for a single piece of software present on a single device. Note This article covers the latest REST API version. For older version 1.0, click here. Before You BeginTo send a REST API query in Excel, PowerBI or a browser, enter the URL of the REST API, your Aternity username (must have the OData REST API role) and its password. You can find this by selecting User icon > REST API Access. SSO users must generate (once) and use a special password, as Aternity's REST API does not authenticate with your enterprise's identity provider. For LDAP users, enter the domain name, then a backslash ('\'), then your network username and password. For example domain_name\jsmithTo view Aternity REST API, enter the base URL from Aternity > User icon > REST API Access, followed by the name of the API into a browser, Excel or PowerBI (learn more). For VIEWING, use <base_url>/latest/API_NAME; for INTEGRATIONS, use <base_url>/<version number>/API_NAME (for example, <base_url>/v1/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v1.0/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v2/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v2.0/API_NAME). Get the latest REST API version for analyzing in the external appThe <base_URL> is configured in the Aternity REST API Server as the external_url (learn more):http://odata-aternity.company.com:80/aternity.odata/API_NAMETip Wherever possible, use $select and $filter to narrow your query, to avoid receiving an error like Returned data is too large.

Examples To access this API from a browser, Excel or Power BI (learn more), enter <base_url>/latest/INSTALLED_SOFTWARE or <base_url>/v2/INSTALLED_SOFTWARE To see all the devices with a specific OS update, such as Security Update KB2966828, enter .../INSTALLED_SOFTWARE?$filter=INSTALLED_SW_NAME eq 'Security Update KB2966828' To return a list of all of the Lenovo drivers for each device, use: .../INSTALLED_SOFTWARE?$filter=INSTALLED_SW_VENDOR eq 'Lenovo Group Limited'&$Select=DEVICE_NAME,INSTALLED_SW_NAME Supported Parameters You can view the data by entering the URL into Excel, into a browser, or into or any OData compatible application such as Power BI. You can add parameters to the URL to filter the returned data, by adding a question mark (?) followed by a parameter and value, such as .../API_NAME?$filter=(USERNAME eq 'jsmith@company.com'), or several parameter-value pairs each separated by an ampersand (&), like .../API_NAME?$format=xml&$top=5.

For example, .../API_NAME?$orderby=LOCATION $top= Use $top (lower case only) when you are initially testing the response of the API by returning the first few entries. For example, to return the first five entries (not sorted), use: ...API_NAME?$top=5 $filter= Use $filter to insert conditions that narrow down the data, to return only entries where those conditions are true..Create conditions for filtering with any of the following operators: Query Operators Description eq Equal to For example, COL4 eq 'val4' ne Not equal to For example, COL4 ne 'val4' gt Greater than For example, COL4 gt 'val4' ge Greater than or equal For example, COL4 ge 'val4' lt Less than For example, COL4 lt 'val4' le Less than or equal For example, COL4 le 'val4' and Logical and For example, COL1 eq 'value1' and COL2 ne 'value2' or Logical or For example, COL1 eq 'value1' or COL2 ne 'value2' not Logical negation Create conditions for filtering with any of the following functions: Query Functions Description startswith For example, $filter=startswith(account_name,'Aternity') endswith For example, $filter=endswith(account_name,'Aternity') contains $filter=contains(COL5,'val5') For example, $filter=contains(account_name,'Aternity') Use operators with parentheses to group conditions logically: .../API_NAME?$filter=(COLUMN1 eq 'value1' or COL2 neq 'val2') and (COL3 gt number) and not (COL4 eq 'val4' or contains(COL5,'val5')) $search is NOT supported.

OutputEach entry from INSTALLED_SOFTWARE returns information for a single piece of software present on a single device. About how long Aternity keeps this data (retention) and how far back you can go, read here.The API returns two types of columns: Attributes (or dimensions) which are the properties of an entry, and Measurements which are the dynamic measured values.
