A Few Examples of Meisterplan's REST API in Action
Introducing Our Dedicated Reporting API
We built the Meisterplan Reporting API on the REST standard specifically tailored for BI tools. This makes it easy to connect and immediately use your portfolio data in tools like Power BI or Tableau.
- Report-ready endpoints: Each endpoint delivers all related fields in a single request, eliminating paginated fetches.
- Minimal manual post-processing: Data arrives denormalized. Project and scenario names are included directly on each row without requiring ID lookups.
- Guided onboarding: Our templates help you deliver immediate results, while Help Center guides walk you through the entire setup.
Everyone started to see Meisterplan as the endpoint — the place where all data flows and where we make sense of everything. It gives us the executive view, the ability to plan, and the confidence to make decisions.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Meisterplan's REST API.
The REST API is available in all Meisterplan editions. To gain access, users need the “Access Meisterplan APIs and Connect External Applications” permission along with a personal API token for authentication.
The API strictly adheres to Meisterplan’s existing role and permission system. Every API request operates within the context of the user owning the API token. For instance, if a user lacks permission in Meisterplan to view or edit financial data, they cannot read or modify that data via the REST API either.
While the Reporting API is specially optimized for exporting data to BI tools and the Task API specifically syncs tasks and efforts from project management tools, the REST API enables flexible, bidirectional synchronization of all core Meisterplan data with any third-party system.
Developers can manage almost all core data objects: projects (including status and rank), portfolios, milestones & dependencies, allocations, resources & absences, teams, roles, programs, OBS, and calendars. In Pro and Premium editions, this also includes scenarios, financial data, and actuals (time/cost).
Yes. Webhooks can be configured via the REST API. Meisterplan automatically notifies your target system in real time whenever relevant events occur (such as creating, updating, or deleting projects).
Yes. Built on the standard REST protocol, the API is technology-agnostic and functions seamlessly whether Meisterplan and your connected third-party systems are deployed in the cloud or on-premise. Data exchange takes place exclusively in JSON format.
Developers get access to detailed technical API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger) as well as step-by-step guides for generating and managing API tokens.
