Reports API (projects)

The project report API allows you to retrieve hours recorded for projects or tasks. The report data is pre-calculated according to the system's calculation settings.

Data can be retrieved either as raw data or formatted according to report configurations predefined in the Deltabit system.

Retrieving reference data

Before fetching report data, you can retrieve reference data from the base endpoint. The following information is returned:

reports: Available reports. A report ID or name is required for fetching report data.
formattedReports: Definitions for pre-formatted reports.
workGroups: Work groups, used for filtering persons.
departments: Departments, used for filtering persons.
userGroups: User groups, used for filtering persons.

Response structure

The response contains the following top-level fields:

data: Array of entries grouped by person (default). Each entry contains an id referencing the persons array and a periods array with the recorded time entries.
persons: Lookup array mapping person IDs to names.
questions: Lookup array mapping question IDs to names. Questions represent the classification categories (e.g. "Location", "Task").
salaryTypes: Lookup array mapping salary type IDs to names.

Each period contains:

length: Duration in seconds.
date: Date of the entry.
start: Start timestamp with time zone.
end: End timestamp with time zone. May be empty if period is incomplete.
classes: Classification of the period. Each class has an id , length (seconds), a question referencing the questions array and value of a manual entry.
salaryTypes: Salary type breakdown. Each entry has an id referencing the salaryTypes array and a length (seconds). Only included when includeWork is true .

Preformatted response

If a pre-configured report format has been defined in the Deltabit system, the response is returned in the configured format instead of raw JSON. The format depends on the report configuration and can be, for example, XML or CSV.

Available preformatted reports and their configurations can be retrieved from the formattedReports field in the reference data response.
