  1. Risk

Sections of Risk Report

POST
/risk/v3/sections
Returns multiple sections of a Risk report in a single request.
This is more efficient than calling each section endpoint individually, and less payload than using the /risk/v3/fullreport endpoint.
Below is a reference table of all available sections and their descriptions. The response will vary depending on the included section(s).

Notes#

Some sections (e.g., coststructure and keystatistics) provide multi-year historical data.
For large-scale integrations, we recommend batching section requests to reduce API calls and improve performance.
