CheckCentral API Documentation: createReport Endpoint

August 23, 2021

The CheckCentral API provides an endpoint for adding reports programmatically. All of the configuration options are available through the API, detailed below. To add a new report through the API, you will require an API token for your organization with Read/Write access. Organization administrators can create tokens through the API portal on your dashboard.

The endpoint is located at https://api.checkcentral.cc/createReport/?apiToken=APITOKEN where the APITOKEN placeholder is replaced with your valid token. The request must be made with the Content-Type header set to application/json. The body of the request should contain the properties below to configure the new report's settings. Any properties not passed will be set to their default value.

For example, to add a new report you could send the following json in the body of the request:

Code

{
  "name": "Some Report",
  "email": "person@myorg.realdomain",
  "accessLevel": "User",
  "sendWelcomeEmail": true,
  "userGroups": [
    "userGroupID"
  ],
  "notifications": [
    { 
        "type": "failures",
        "services": [
            "sms",
            "push"
        ]
    }
  ]
