About Listing Reports with the ReportList Method

The ReportList method provides a means to list the reports in the company shared folders without using the Oracle CRM On Demand user interface. You can use the ReportList method to generate a summary list of reports in the company shared folder. The ReportList method accesses each folder and creates a zipped UTF-8 encoded CSV file with the summary list of reports.

To use the ReportList method you must create reports in Oracle CRM On Demand and save those reports in a shared folder. Also, you must acquire a download tool, such as cURL or Wget or use a scripting language such as JavaScript or Perl. The download tool's purpose is to call the ReportList method to generate a summary report list and then to retrieve it to your computer. cURL and Wget are examples of such download tools but you can use any tool of your choice that can post a request to the API and get a response back.
