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.
