Hi,
Sorry to ask you again,i would like to know if its possible to fetch a saved web report from its ID using rest API which would give us the result in CSV format.
For example, we can call rest API to fetch fixlet or task information using request.get on a similar note do we have any resource which would give us saved web reports?

this should work

Thank you…
I will try to implement this solution
