Introducing Event API

The Event API uses the Intelligence Event API Service. This service is a REST-based API service that allows you to programmatically inject requests to reprocess dimensions and measures.

For dimensions, you can request a refresh, and for measures, you can request to reprocess a specific time-range or a simple refresh. Access to the Event API is controlled through Windows Authentication.

Note: When you deploy a Measure without a schedule and driving its execution based on Time-Defining Dimension changes, it is recommended that the Measure is refreshed periodically using Events API.
