MicroStrategy 10.6 uses REST APIs to allow third-party applications to interact with the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server. These APIs expose a set of functions that can be used to retrieve and modify data stored in the MicroStrategy metadata and data warehouses.
For instance, you can use REST API to retrieve a dossier hierarchy from the Intelligence Server.
