Hi Zeeshan, thanks for taking the time to post your question, and for your patience!

Yes, you can get a report of Software inventory for Servers through the API. Refer to 'Export software inventory assessment (via files)' in this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/api/get-assessment-software-inventory.

• You can use API explorer option within Defender portal to run the following API: https://api.security.microsoft.com/api/machines/SoftwareInventoryExport
• The response will contain URLs to download the data from Azure Storage. Download the files using the URL.
• Once you have the data, you can import the .json file into Excel and filter it locally to include only servers.
