Hi Grizzly_Bear 

How did you end up going with this issue? The company I work for is looking to do the same, I'm not sure how much of a headache we are in for!

Thanks

    Unfortunately, no. Raised multiple helpdesk tickets - they keep saying, "We only provide the API and the basic documentation. You need to hire a developer to extract and build using these API points." 

     

    Like I mentioned in other comments, I gave up after a while. We now have custom reports that extract almost all the information from the EH. We then copy and replace the content into a CSV source file stored in a SharePoint site and use that to build PowerBi dashboards.

     

    Very old school and manual, but it works. ğŸ˜­

      Sorry to hear. I'll be using SharePoint in the interim to at least get it up and running. I think we will need to source the API setup from a third party, but I will let you know if we get anywhere with it on our own. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

        Do keep everyone here posted. We have been waiting for this for almost a year now.
