Re: API call on reportTable with parameters?

 

This looks to be working, even if I'm not clear on the relationship between
dates & periods.

Last but not least - I had two ideas to make this work: either use the
reportTable as API source (pro: it already existed) or create the
equivalent using the analytics web API. My problem in that second case it
that I did not find any way to collect all the indicators for a given group
for a specific organisation unit except by listing them one by one. There
is something call a data element group using a syntax like:

dx:DE_GROUP-<id>

but it does not look to work for indicators group. Is there an alternate,
non documented syntax for those?

If both approach can work, any advice on using one vs the other (analytics
vs reportTable) ?
