All requests

The Flexmonster custom data source API is a communication protocol allowing you to retrieve already aggregated data from a server to Flexmonster Pivot.

To retrieve the data from the server, Flexmonster sends POST requests to the API endpoints in JSON format.

All requests have index and type properties in the request body, where type is a type of request. Types of requests can be distinguished by the URL path and type value.

List of requests:

<url>/handshake (optional) the first request to establish a connection between the client and server sides
<url>/fields request for all fields with their types
<url>/members request for all members of the field
<url>/select request for data, can be for pivot table, flat table, and drill-through view
