• These APIs provide RESTful endpoints for reporting via the OData Protocol, enabling data retrieval for alarms, inventory, and Quality of Service (QoS).

• Like UIMAPI, they support both Basic Authentication and JWT Token-based authentication.

• Access to these APIs is controlled by a new ACL permission called "OData Services."
