What is the Process Reporting API?
The Nintex Promapp® Process Reporting API exposes process health and usage data through an OData feed to enable people to build their own custom queries, making it a lot easier to see trends and report on process excellence, without having to run manual csv reports.
What data is available?
- Process health data - refers to the publish status (in progress, published, awaiting approval, etc.) and review status of your processes.
- Process usage data - refers to process views.
- Read the API reference here: Reporting API reference.
- We plan to make more data available in future releases.
What tools can I use to access data in the Reporting API?
The Nintex Promapp® Process Reporting API uses the OData 4.0 protocol. You can use any tool that supports token-based authentication, such as Microsoft Excel and PowerBI. For more information, seeOData.org andOasis: OData Version 4.0 Protocol.
Note: Tools that use forms-based authentication such as Tableau are not supported at this time.
How do I set it up?
- Promasters can generate an API key to get started. We have Excel instructions, a template, and an example ready to go. You can also access our setup instructions for PowerBI.

- You can report on historical data to access usage and health trends and insights.
- It’s secure! Only users with a valid API Key can query the data and we adhere to the strict OData protocol.
