Retrive Repository Folder Structure With REST API

Requirement

Some JasperReports Server Administrators might want to check or monitor Repository structure of JasperReports Server or embedding it in custom application. Rest API can help to achieve this requirement.

Solution

User can retrieve a structure of JasperReports Repository with Resources Service. The Request will contain several parameters:

type=folder
limit=1000
expanded=true

Also authentication credentials might be needed, if Authentication was not passed before. The final Request will look like:

GET http://host:port/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources?expanded=true&limit=1000&type=folder&j_username=userLogin&j_password=userPassword

If Organization repository structure is needed, you can use %7Corganization_id parameter as in Login request

GET http://host:port/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources?expanded=true&limit=1000&type=folder&j_username=userLogin%7Corganization_id
&j_password=userPassword

User will get all folders in XML/JSON format.
