reportData Interface Example

String reportID = "<id>";
String webServiceToken = "e39a0b5b-45db-42db-84b2-b85028d954d5";
String host = "<any_host>";

URL report = new URL("http", host, 19120,
	"/servicesExchange?hid=reportData" +
	"&type=xml" + // or csv
	"&sid=" + webServiceToken +
	"&reportFilterID=" + reportID +
	"&includeHeaders=true" +
	"&rp_execNode_Id_0=1" +
	"&projectID=27);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(report.openStream(), "UTF-8"));
    
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String line = "";

while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
	builder.append(line + "\n");
}

String text = builder.toString();
System.out.println(text);
If the report requires parameters, you need to add the following code to the report URL for each parameter:
 "&rp_parametername=parametervalue"
In the example, the parameter rp_execNode_Id_0 is set to the value 1.
Note: The names of parameters that are passed to the reportData service have to be prefixed with rp_. Example: /servicesExchange?hid=reportData&type=xml&sid=<...>&reportFilterID=<...>&projectID=<...>&rp_TestID=<...>
