All requests

The Flexmonster custom data source API is a communication protocol that allows retrieving already aggregated data from a server to Flexmonster Pivot.

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

List of requests:

<url>/handshake 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
