This is something Netdisco does to allow users to construct their own data reports rather than having to manage those within the OSS project. Backup topic if that fails is something on swagger.io!

This is something Netdisco does to allow users to construct their own data reports rather than having to manage those within the OSS project. Would definitely like to hear you talk about this. I implemented something like this late last year, and have ideas for improvements, so will be good to learn stuff from your experience.
