Examples: Reports REST API Resources

The Reports and Dashboards REST API is designed to let you query report data easily. Use the API to:

• Run Reports Synchronously or Asynchronously.

  Run a report immediately or asynchronously to get summary data with or without details. We recommend that you run reports asynchronously to avoid report timeouts and other API limits.

  Get information about fields in the report and report type. This includes information about fields used for report groupings, summaries, detailed data, and filters.

• List Asynchronous Runs of a Report.

  Get a list of all instances of a report run asynchronously.

• Filter Reports on Demand.

  Get specific data back by running a report with filter changes in the metadata.

• List Recently Viewed Reports

  Get most recently viewed reports that you have permission to access.

• Decode the Fact Map.

  Get a visualized view of your report data.

• Save Changes to Reports
