Get Started with the IntelliFront BI API

Connect to your IntelliFront installation, choose an authentication method and try a native analytics workflow with Postman.

Use the IntelliFront BI API to connect an application to your reporting environment. A useful first task is to retrieve an existing native KPI and check the data behind it. This lets you confirm the connection before creating resources or requesting report delivery.

Before you begin

  • A working IntelliFront BI installation and its reachable application address.
  • An identity with permission to perform the selected API operations.
  • Existing reporting content suitable for testing.
  • Network access from the computer running your integration.

Ask your administrator for the installation address and approved access method. Keep credentials and access tokens private.

1. Connect to your installation

Follow Connect to your IntelliFront installation to set the application root, including any IIS application path. The developer portal documents the API; your requests run against your own installation.

2. Authenticate

Use Authenticate users and service clients to choose the supported flow and obtain a token. User and service-client identities have different requirements. Confirm the permissions and current-user context required by the operation you intend to call.

3. Import the Postman files

Download and import the IntelliFront BI Postman collection and matching environment. Set the environment values for your installation and run requests individually. Some requests create or change configuration.

4. Try a native analytics workflow

Follow Your first native analytics workflow in Postman to select a KPI, read its configuration, retrieve its result and check dataset refresh evidence. Choose content whose meaning and audience you understand.

5. Choose your next task

Continue with native analytics integration or request a configured report job. Use the API Reference for the exact request and response contract.

If a request fails, see Troubleshoot IntelliFront BI API Integrations. For an overview of all resources, visit Introducing the IntelliFront BI Developer Portal.
