Hi,

I am trying to access reports data via REST, but no url as explained in wiki ([https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Reporting+REST+Web+Services](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Reporting+REST+Web+Services)) works for rest calls to reporting data.

The exception thrown is here [http://pastie.org/10184100](http://pastie.org/10184100). The url used for rest call is [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/reportingrest/datasetdefinition](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/reportingrest/datasetdefinition) . The module has data definitions as shown in images attached ![](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/878/69e6d643087cd646.png)

The versions are below :

- OpenMRS: 1.9.7
- Rest Web Services : 2.9.39bd19
- Reporting Compatibility : 1.5.8
- Reporting : 0.9.3
- Reporting rest module: 1.4

The module shows successful installation in manage modules. Am I using correct url and software versions for this?

Try [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/reportingrest/dataSetDefinition](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/reportingrest/dataSetDefinition) (note the case difference). I noticed in a comment on the module Wiki page that the module documentation is outdated.

Do you have the webservices-rest module installed and running?

What is the version of OpenMRS and module you are running?
