There's no JasperReports Server REST api without a JasperReports Server. Get JasperReports Server Community edition.

Jaydeep,

When you say, REST API, what API are you talking about?  Hozawa was talking about a JasperReports Server API that specifies how you can interact with our JasperReports Server.

If you're talking about a REST API from some other source, then its possible to create a data adapter for it.

That's what exactly I want to know. "How" to create a Rest API data source adapter on JRS community edition "if" there is no option in the selection dropdown available while creating a datasource?. Which is possible in case of JasperSoft studio.

Means "How" my reports can fetch data from a RestAPI with JSON response in Jasper server if it doesn't allow us to create Web datasource like studio does?

JasperReports library support JSON data adapter that you can use. There is no difference between community and professional version of JasperReports library.

I think hozawa's answer was on point. I would think that the JSON adapter is a good model for how to go about it. The details about the REST service you want to integrate with would come from that service's API.
