Here is a step-by-step guide on deploying a Report as API.

What is a 'Deploy Report as API' ?

The 'Deploy Report as API' feature gives your report a whole new level of accessibility and flexibility. By toggling 'Yes' for 'Deploy Report as API,' you're essentially granting permission for the report's data to be accessed through an API. This generates a unique API TOKEN, acting as a secure key for authorised users to retrieve the report's insights. The provided API URL serves as the report's designated endpoint, allowing integration with third tools for easy data retrieval. Additionally, you can specify a Record Limit to manage the amount of data returned per API call.

This feature is designed to empower users with seamless integration and efficient access to the report's valuable information.

Why do I need it?

Enabling the 'Deploy Report as API' feature empowers you to seamlessly integrate your report's data with external systems, automate data sharing, and enhance accessibility. Whether you're looking to improve efficiency or simply make your report more versatile, enabling the API deployment opens up a world of possibilities for leveraging its data in various ways tailored to your needs.
