VSI 5 Business Unit Forecast by Data Center Export

This REST api call allows you to export your company's business unit forecast by data center. You need to send an HTTP POST to https://vsi5.visualstorageintelligence.com/api/export/v1/get_bu_forecasting along with the folloing parameters in JSON format:

export_format : "json" or "csv" request_date : formatted as mm-dd-yyyy such as 11-04-2022 request_user : the email address you use to login to VSI request_password : the password you use to login to VSI

In this gist, we have a curl script, a PowerShell script, and a Python 3 script to help with automated retrieval.
