Is it possible to use REST API in BIRT reports?

Let's say I would like to fetch data using REST API in my BIRT report. Is it possible? Should I use java\javascript as REST client or there are configured data sources? Thanks in advance.

You could have used XML data source but it does not allows authentication. However, I found another useful link https://teamgreenridge.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/reporting-on-rational-team-concert-timesheet-information-part-i/ but it uses RPE.
For BIRT, you will probably have to use Scripted Data Source and right some javascript code in there to fetch and parse XML output form REST api. I couldn't not find any OOTB way.

Are there any code snippets of javascript using REST API? I've tried to write it some time ago but failed to make it work.

I don't have anything readily available. Will share if I could write/find something
