It is possible to download a report using REST API?

Hi @ Miguel Based on my search, you can download the report in .rdl format using the API. I have tested and here is my example URL which successfully downloads the report in .rdl format. http://localhost/reports/api/v2.0/Reports(31E91AFB-A8A8-487D-83B8-42E17F0C5390)/Content/$value Best regards, Aniya

Sure, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server-web-service/methods/rendering-and-execution-methods?view=sql-server-ver16

Hello @AniyaTang-MSFT

But, is there a method similar to SOAP's LoadReport? I would like to know that is possible to download a pdf report by REST API.

Best Regards,

Miguel

Hi @Miguel

Based on my search, it seems that no way to download the report directly as a pdf file using the rest api was found. For more information about the features of the rest API in SSRS, you can check this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/developer/rest-api?view=sql-server-ver16.

However, there is an alternative way to generate reports using URL Access (SSRS). You can see this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/export-a-report-using-url-access?view=sql-server-ver16.

For example:

http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fTest%2fCanGrow&rs:Command=Render
