Recommended approaches

Option 1: Use Reporting API

1. Create a report in Flexera.
2. Retrieve the report output using the Reports API. For reference, see IT Asset Management Data API.
3. Apply filtering logic (for example, limit the data to 600 specific server devices) in your data tools or scripts after downloading the report.

NOTE: Device filtering takes place after retrieval.

Option 2: Use the Installed Software API

1. Use the Installed Software API endpoint to retrieve all active devices and their installed software. For reference, see IT Asset Management Data API
2. Filter the API response to only include the required devices.
3. Exclude unwanted client machines during post-processing, ensuring the dataset focuses on servers or other target types.

Using API-based data extraction avoids the limitations of Excel exports and provides flexibility for large environments, enabling filtering and automation when working with hundreds of devices.
