REST API to download License JSON report?

Hi,  I'm completely new to F5 Big-IQ, but have plenty of experience writing API integrations. I've been asked to pull data from an F5 Big IQ instance, specifically the data held in the License Repo...

Hello  Flipcode   

Have you  seen this article yet? 
API request to retrieve the license details

Yes, you can use a REST API to download the License JSON report from an F5 Big IQ instance.

 To achieve this, you can interact with the F5OS API by sending a GET request with the appropriate headers to retrieve the license details in JSON format.

The API request should include the Accept header set to 'application/yang-data+json' and the necessary authentication credentials.

By using a command similar to the following example:

curl -X GET -H 'Accept: application/yang-data+json' -sku admin:admin https://localhost:8888/restconf/data/openconfig-system:system/f5-system-licensing:licensing ```

This command will fetch the License JSON report data that you can then consume into a database or any other system for further analysis or processing.
