The Inventory Report can also be accessed via API. Using the public API you can request data for any chosen fields for any subset of hosts. For details see http://developer.logmein.com/.

Note: Due to the nature of API integration and the fact that it is almost always custom in nature, GoTo Support cannot provide assistance in writing or debugging customer code. If you are new to API programming, there are tutorials available on the internet that help you understand and reproduce the examples given on this website. To find out more about API programming, visit https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Client-side_web_APIs/Introduction.
