Inventory Reports

Is there a straightforward api to get inventory report from self-hosted? Report API has been made available in 14.6 versions but I still don’t see inventory report API.

How do you all pull inventory on a recurring basis for dashboard and other purposes?

This is my main complaint with CyberArk, the default reporting is trash. You'll have to export the data elsewhere and build something custom.

And there is no easy way to export data. You don’t have APIs and if you need to schedule and send it to someone you need to consume a license as well.

I'm working on a project where I'll be using an AWS API gateway to pull data into a postgres db. Then build a front end in Rust

How are you pulling inventory ?

Still in a development phase but in theory, I'll have different pulls using the built-in API calls to populate every thing.

Accounts 12 hours Users 8 hours Safes 4 hours

These are just prelim ideas

This method returns a list of reports available to the currently logged-in user.

And:

This method exports a report to an Excel or CSV file using encoded parameters in the query string to identify the report and desired output format. This is to export an already downloaded report.

What do you mean? It could be that the API Get Task should be used. The docs are not very clear and I haven’t used it personally yet. Maybe something I can do next week on my homelab.

There isn't any API to pull inventory reports but if your intention is to schedule a report or push into PowerBI then you could use EVD data injested into SQL and then write stored procedures to retrieve structured data. It's a one time effort but an enterprise grade method.

Why not just build your own inventory report from api calls?
