How to fetch action status

How to fetch action status using rest api? I need to fetch action status of failure, successful and not relevant.
I need to pull the data based on username and date.

This resource might help you. From https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/api/action.html

Request: URL is all that is required

For example: https://server.bigfix.com:52311/api/action/44/status

Response: The information about the status of the action in XML format.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BESAPI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BESAPI.xsd">
    <ActionResults Resource="http://server.bigfix.com:52311/api/action/44/status">
        <ActionID>44</ActionID>
        <Status>Open</Status>
    </ActionResults>
</BESAPI>

You will probably need a session relevance query to get action status results.

This dashboard reports on baselines with failures using session relevance: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/dashboards/BaselineStatusResults.ojo

You can use session relevance with the REST API as well, but I would start by writing what you need in the presentation debugger in the console or similar, then once you get the data you want, run that through the REST API.

Any prerequisite to use the BaselineStatusResults dashboard? I could not select any baseline from the drag box of “Choose a baseline to examine”. Thanks.
