JSGet Overview
To meet the requirements of clients with advanced integration needs or institutional clients that must uphold a strong security policy we offer the JSGet data utility. JSGet is a command-line utility with a robust set of configuration parameters. It can be scripted or scheduled to download our JSAnalytics in several industry standard file formats. Once downloaded and saved the data files can then be fed into third-party information or execution systems or serve as the data source for groups of JSDesktop applications within institutions that have secure Internet access. JSGet can be run on both workstations or servers. The diagram below provides an architectural overview of a typical JSGet configuration.

Standard Output
To ensure interoperability with any third-party system JSGet can save its data in the following industry standard formats:
- XML – Extensible Markup Language
- JSON – Java Script Object Notation
- XLS – Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
- CSV – Comma Separated Values
The output file type, name, and location are all configured using several parameters of the JSGet command-line interface. The example, the input parameters below would generate two files name JSData.xml and JSData.json in the users My Documents directory. The sample content of both data files is also provided as PDF documents.
| c:\>jsget -outputType=xml,json -outputFilename=JSData -outputDirectory=%DOCUMENTS% |
