Which part of John Deere API contain information about Forest Harvester products?
Any form of data is fine for me such as API JSON,XML reply or simply ability to download production reports etc? All machines are linked to John Deere account and all data I am looking for is available in “https://timbermanager.deere.com/”. My goal is to set unattended scheduled task to get production data from John Deere into my own DB for business analysis such as with Power BI. Codding is not an issue and I am using Python.
John Deere documentation page [https://developer.deere.com/dev-doc-landing] provide documentation about API and discovery work starts with sandbox environment. According to JD sandbox is a mirror copy of production.
My test application have full access to everything and API Access Token scope have full access as well.
Could it be that sandbox environment do not contain this data but production does? Or maybe Forestry Machines production information have separate API? Looking for advise.
I am capable to get lots of data from it about machines such as GPS data, fuel usage, oil, engine time etc But there is absolutely nothing there about products. I read all(I think so) the documentation I could find on JD page and analysed their code examples in John Deere GitHub repository and played with sandbox API extensively to see if products data is there. Each JD API call return list of links to drill further for data but could not find anything that contained data I was looking for.
Potential part of API that might contain production data is this machineMeasurements link returned when querying specific machine ID:
{ "@type": "Link", "rel": "measurements", "uri": "https://sandboxapi.deere.com/platform/machines/???????/machineMeasurements" },
But when querying /machineMeasurements/ it return cryptic reply:
The client does not have a proper access for this API.

Bit about “License: MACHINE_MEASUREMENTS” makes me think that maybe some extra license from JD is needed to get production info?
