# Introduction

This article presents how the Open iT License Monitor API can be utilized to connect to the Open iT data warehouse for reporting.

# License Monitor Portal API

The License Monitor Portal (LMP) Application Programming Interface (API) provides an easier way to fetch and display data from the Analysis Server backend to a web interface. The data returned by the API follows the .json format.

The License Monitor Portal API uses HTTP GET and POST requests with JSON arguments and responses. The commands in this document utilize the License Monitor API and, as such, require a web browser or any API tool that is connected to the network.

Each request is authenticated against NTLM authentication. Make sure to provide the needed authorization before using the API endpoints below.
