Is there any officially supported API, API access mechanism, or developer documentation that allows an external application to query Hybrid Backup Center data?
In particular, I’m interested in being able to retrieve things such as:
- NAS devices and their status
- HBS jobs
- Last execution status
- Start/stop time
- Errors
- Job history
- Backup progress/statistics
I am not looking for a way to bypass authentication or use/reuse browser session tokens. I would like to know whether QNAP provides an officially supported authentication mechanism, API token, service account, OAuth flow, specific license, or another supported method for this type of integration.
Is API access perhaps available with a particular HBC license or subscription?
I’m asking because I find it quite surprising that, in 2026, a platform specifically designed for centralized management of backup infrastructures does not appear to expose an official API for integration with external monitoring/management platforms.
Almost every other platform I integrate with nowadays provides at least an API, webhook, or some other supported mechanism for external monitoring.
HBC already has all the information and functionality needed — it would be extremely useful to be able to consume that information programmatically.
Thanks!
