The Helios Reporting service exposes Cohesity's cross-cluster reporting layer as a standalone REST API with 20 operations. It publishes a catalog of report types and their components, renders on-demand previews without persisting anything, and manages recurring schedules whose exports are collected as downloadable task artifacts. Authentication is the same apiKey header used across the Cohesity surface.
Cohesity Helios Reporting API is one of 4 APIs that Cohesity publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include Reporting, Analytics, Helios, and Automation. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.
This API exposes
20 operations
across 17 paths,
organized into 6 resource areas,
and defines 64 schemas.
It is described by OpenAPI 2.0, at version v1.

Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site,
developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use.
Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's
public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications,
endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and
you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored
zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
