Hello,
I am evaluating Crystal Reports and Crystal Reports Server for use in creating and distributing reports. All of our data comes from an existing RESTful API.
I found this document: https://help.sap.com/doc/businessobject_product_guides_sbo42_en_sbo42_cr_restws_en_pdf/4.2/en-US/sbo... but I don't think this is what I am looking for. I am not trying to develop a REST API, just get data from it.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Crystal Reports will not be able to use REST APIs for a datasource. You would not have control over the oAuth token either.
You would have to write some code to authenticate and consume the rest Endpoint and format the results into an XML format that could be used as a datasource (Try saving to disk and attach the Crystal Report to the XML file as a datasource to ensure the formatting is useable.

Dear Don,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Can what we need to do be done with Crystal Reports without having SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence suite?
Can you be a little more specific on what I need to look at for Crystal Reports?
Should I assume that Crystal Reports alone cannot do what we need?
Sincerely,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Go here and the RESTFul section in the SDK area and you'll find a bunch of Video's on how to

I don't think so, when you log into BOE you will need to get a BOE Token as well.
