Overview

CAS ODATA v4 REST API helps you to easily fetch the aggregated data. Currently, we are supporting user to fetch session data from CAS performance data source.

This article provides a guidance about how to use the APIs.

API specifications

Authentication

The implementation uses Citrix Cloud bearer token to authenticate.

References:

Citrix Cloud client ID and Citrix Cloud client secret

The following is sample request to get the token.

Request sample:

    POST https://api.cloud.com/cctrustoauth2/{customerid}/tokens/clients
    Accept: application/json
    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    Body: grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={client_id}&client_secret={client_secret}
<!--NeedCopy-->

Response sample:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
...
{
"token_type": "bearer",
"access_token": "ey1..",
"expires_in": "3600"
}
<!--NeedCopy-->

Note:

The expiration period of the bearer token is 1 hour. Regenerate it if you need to do the query after one hour.

Endpoints

Global: https://api.cloud.com/casodata

Sample:

https://api.cloud.com/casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14 will fetch the aggregated sessions data for date 2023/04/14 (UTC).

Service path

This section includes information on service path and entity names such as sessions, machines, and users. For example, see the following sample service path:

/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14
<!--NeedCopy-->

The parameters year, month, and day are mandatory and added in UTC format.

The data of a specified hour is also supported, the path is as follows:

/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&hour=10 (Fetch the data of 2023/04/14 10:00)

System operators

CAS ODATA API supports the following basic odata system options:

System option	Sample
$select	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState
$orderby	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState&$orderby=sessionScore desc
$top	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState&$top=1
$top&$skip	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState&$top=10&$skip=20
$count	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$count=true
$filters	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState&$filter=sessionScore ne 20

Note:

Don’t add any space in the value of $select option.

$filter operators and functions

CAS ODATA API supports the following odata logical operators and string functions for $filter option:

Category	Operators	Samples
Logical operators	eq/ne/gt/lt/le/ge	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState&$filter=sessionScore ge 20
	not	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,deliveryGroupName&$filter=not(deliveryGroupName eq null)
	and/or	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,logonDuration&$filter=sessionState eq ‘5’ and (sessionScore le 20 or logonDuration gt 19.914)
	in	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,logonDuration&$filter=sessionState in (‘5’,’3’)
	not in	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,logonDuration&$filter=not (sessionState in (‘5’,’3’))
String functions	contains	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,deliveryGroupName&$filter=contains(deliveryGroupName,’PRD’)
	startswith	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,deliveryGroupName&$filter=not endswith(deliveryGroupName,’CVAD Development’)
	endswith	https:///casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&$select=sessionKey,sessionScore,sessionState,deliveryGroupName&$filter=startswith(sessionKey,’09c3268e’)

Entities and data attributes

The following three CAS performance entities are supported:

Sample use cases

Get the metadata and pick some columns from them to do the query

Requesting the metadata

Request sample:

<!--NeedCopy-->

Pick columns sessionKey, sessionScore, and sessionState to do the query

Request sample:

curl --location 'https://api.cloud.com/casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&%24select=sessionKey%2CsessionScore%
2CsessionState' \
--header 'Authorization: CwsAuth bearer=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5.....' \
--header 'Citrix-CustomerId: qt64gkrzji7h' \

Fetch all the data of a specified day with pagination

The default limitation of the query is 1000 rows.

User is able to set the value of $top option to limit the result rows in the query. In this scenario, the next page link is provided at the bottom of query response.

Request sample:

curl --location 'https://api.cloud.com/casodata/sessions?year=2023&month=04&day=14&%24top=100' \
--header 'Authorization: CwsAuth bearer=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5.....' \
