Frequently asked questions

How can I embed reports in my application?

You have three options: the REST API, the Reporting Components (Report Viewer and Web Report Designer), and an Embed URL that you load in an iframe.

How do I get an access token for the REST API?

Generate a personal access token from your profile in the Report Server, or request a token with the Authentication API using user credentials or the Embed Secret Key API.

Can I try the REST API without writing code?

Yes. Each Cloud Reporting REST API version, v1.0 to v5.0, has a Try It Now console. You authorize it with an access token and send test requests from the browser.
