Table of contents View the Details of a User with REST API (version 2.0) Use ACCOUNT_USER_DETAILS to get the list of all users in the account, including local and SSO users, restricted and not. Instead of opening the Users administration screen from the Settings, and coping the list of account users from there, Aternity provides the API with all details about users in your account, including some details you do not see on the Users screen. Also, in the console, you need to move between the pages to see all users; whereas using REST API, you get the full list of data on one sheet. 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.To 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 appTip Wherever possible, use $select and $filter to narrow your query, to avoid receiving an error like Returned data is too large. Learn more. Supported Parameters You can view the data by entering the URL into Excel, into a browser, or into or any OData compatible application such as Power BI. You can add parameters to the URL to filter the returned data, by adding a question mark (?) followed by a parameter and value, such as .../API_NAME?$filter=(USERNAME eq 'jsmith@company.com'), or several parameter-value pairs each separated by an ampersand (&), like .../API_NAME?$format=xml&$top=5. Query Options Description $select= Use $select to return only specific columns (attributes), to make queries more efficient: ...API_NAME?$select=COL1,COL2,COL3 $format= Use $format to force the returned data to be either in XML or JSON format. This is only useful for testing the raw data in a web browser. For example: .../API_NAME?$format=xml $orderby= Use $orderby to sort the returned data according to the value you choose. For example, .../API_NAME?$orderby=LOCATION $top= Use $top (lower case only) when you are initially testing the response of the API by returning the first few entries. Also, use $top to filter the returned data and to return only the first N entries. For example, to return the first five entries (not sorted), use: ...API_NAME?$top=5 $filter= Use $filter to insert conditions that narrow down the data, to return only entries where those conditions are true.. To limit the timeframe of a query, add $filter=relative_time() like, .../API_NAME?$filter=relative_time(last_x_hours) or (last_x_days). Learn more. 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') in() Instead of using AND, OR: $filter=device_name eq ‘adam_covert_wks’ or device_name eq ‘adam_covert_vdi’ or device_name eq ‘adam_covert_tablet’ You can now use: $filter=in(device_name,‘adam_covert_wks’,‘adam_covert_vdi’,‘adam_covert_tablet’) Read carefully specific instructions for writing this function: In must be followed directly by the opening parenthesis (no space allowed) The first parameter is the field name (case insensitive) The function requires at least two parameters, the field name and at least one field value The rest of the parameters are the optional values that the field can have (i.e. the values we want to filter in) also case insensitive Values are separated by comma and no spaces allowed The last value must be followed by the closing parenthesis (no space allowed) In() can be combined with any other filter using AND or OR There can be more than one in() function in a filter. For example, $filter=in(location,’loc1’,’loc2’) or in(subnet,’sub1’sub2’). Another example, $filter=in(location,’loc1’,’loc2’) and in(subnet,’sub1’sub2’) Use operators with parentheses to group conditions logically: .../API_NAME?$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. Do not use $search in Aternity's REST APIs. Tip Wherever possible, use $select and $filter to narrow your query, to avoid receiving an error like Returned data is too large. Learn more. Output Each returned entry from ACCOUNT_USER_DETAILS contains one user, with its name, account name, type, role, email, and more user details. 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.
