Hi Mithila.
you can get the ID of the universe to add by requesting the list of uinverses.  Here's a simple workflow of creating a report and adding a dataprovider:
List out the universes
GET /biprws/raylight/v1/universes
response
<universes>
<universe>
  <id>5145</id>
  <cuid>AX3cE9nWhMBLtXyWJ56OoDQ</cuid>
  <name>eFashion</name>
  <type>unv</type>
  <folderId>532</folderId>
</universe>
</universes>
====================================
Create a document
POST /biprws/raylight/v1/documents
<document>
  <name>My new Document</name>
  <folderId>5848</folderId>
</document>
response
<success>
  <message>The resource of type "Document" with identifier "6757" has been successfully created.</message>
  <id>6757</id>
</success>
=====================================
Add a datasource to the new document (6757) using the name and ID from the universe you want to use
POST /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/6757/dataproviders
<dataprovider>
  <name>eFashion</name>
  <dataSourceId>5145</dataSourceId>
</dataprovider>
response
<success>
  <message>The resource of type "Data provider" with identifier "DP0" has been successfully created.</message>
  <id>DP0</id>
</success>
======================================
List the dataproviders in the new webi document
GET /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/6757/dataproviders
response
<dataproviders>
  <dataprovider>
    <id>DP0</id>
    <name>eFashion</name>
    <dataSourceId>5145</dataSourceId>
    <dataSourceType>unv</dataSourceType>
  </dataprovider>
</dataproviders>
I hope this helps,
Dan
