 The `token` parameter is optional and if not provided will be set by default to the current User's access token.
+The `route` parameter will be automatically prepended with the server local api url if you do not provide the starting "http" in the URL.  Do not include the initial slash.

-The `route` parameter should be the complete route to the api method required and can be constructed from the meta data provided to the report, for example to fetch data from the `server-info` API route:
+The `route` parameter is required and will automatically include the current API server URL prepended if not provided (it looks for "http" at the start).  For example you can specifiy the `route` parameter as simply the end portion of the route without the slash: "server-info" or the full route to the server from the server URL meta property.  For example the full route to fetch data from the `server-info` API route can be constructed as follows:
