    @FANG HUANG

    Thank you for you post on the community!

    We do not currently support restful APIs in the trial.

    Thank you,​

    Thank you for your quick response.

    I have a few more questions:

    How about the paid version/plan?
    Can the paid version/plan support restful API to upload data files, or to automatically connect to get data from datasource?  I asked this, because I did not find any whole API introduction doc.
    Can the paid version support predictive analytics function?

    Hi Fang, 

    Thank you for your response. 

    We are currently investigating an updated SDK with a new public REST API. We will announce more when we have more information around this. 

    If you are connected to a live feed of a datasource, like a database, then the data is refreshed within Cognos. 

    There is no added predictive functionality in the premium version not included in the trial. 

    Thanks,
