You put any name on it that you like. The title of the referenced page is "REST interface reference". And yes, the things I presented are not using the "Swagger REST API" which also comes with Cognos.

Thank you. So, to be clearer, this solution is not built on the technology the IBM has named the Cognos Analytics REST API. It is built on Cognos Mashup Service (CMS), using the REST (vs. SOAP) web service.

Hello @Douglas Pulse,
>> Are there differences in the REST API depending upon whether it is on a Linux or Windows platform?
No.
>>Can you help me tie the URLs in your example to the URLs provided in the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=api-getting-started-rest)? Am I looking at the wrong documentation?
Yes. The documentation you are looking at does not reference fetching report Data.
This: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=developer-rest-interface-reference is describing the one I am using.
>>Is this really using the Cognos Analytics REST API or are you using parameterized URLs against the dispatcher?
It is using parameters on the URL ... yes :-)
>>CognosXHR_getReportData.js includes a reference to the fetch_csv_content() function, which is not defined. Is that the same as the fetch_content() function?
My bad. I pushed the code before finishing the example. Fixed it today.
https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING/cognos/commit/b30b04aa6b3efaec46b8ade1a97bc3ac3478b702
Hope this helps.
Let me know any issues. You are welcome to drop me an e-Mail.

Great presentation and very fast dashboard! But I'm having trouble following along.
Starting with https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING/cognos/blob/master/CognosRestApiXHR/CognosXHR_getReportData.js to try to understand the basic concepts...
Are there differences in the REST API depending upon whether it is on a Linux or Windows platform? The documentation I see says the REST API is at https://cognosserver:9300/api/v1, but the example shows
endpoint = 'https://cognosdemo/crn0/bi/v1'
Can you help me tie the URLs in your example to the URLs provided in the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.0?topic=api-getting-started-rest)? Am I looking at the wrong documentation? Is this really using the Cognos Analytics REST API or are you using parameterized URLs against the dispatcher?
CognosXHR_getReportData.js includes a reference to the fetch_csv_content() function, which is not defined. Is that the same as the fetch_content() function?
Some of the information provided at https://github.com/AMVARA-CONSULTING is difficult to follow. Some code samples appear to begin mid-code and some thoughts end mid-sentence.
