Reporting Overview
1
The Reporting API is an API that you can use to automate your report queries. It allows you to
programmatically query in XML the Reporting database.
PayPal Manager is also a client of the Reporting API. Everything that Manager can do with
reports is available to you through API calls. You can, for example, request a particular report
be run within a specified date range. The response returns all the data that the report generates.
The reporting engine encapsulates the information in all the Payflow services reports. You can
store this information in your local database and use it as needed.
Operations You Can Perform Using the Reporting API
The Reporting API enables you to perform the following operations:
z Managing report templates
z Running reports on demand by report or report template name
z Obtaining information about reports
z Managing report template schedules
z Performing searches
The standard (predefined) reports supported are described in Appendix C, “Report
Parameters.”
Managing Report Templates
You may want to create report templates based on the reports that are supported. A report
template lets you create an instance of a report. With this instance, you provide a list of
parameters.
Report templates are handy when you find that you frequently need to look up reports based
on the same criteria. You provide the parameters and values once, and Reporting saves this
information with the report template. When you run the report template, you do not need to
provide the parameters a second time.
Report template management enables you to perform all the following tasks:
z Create report templates
z Query report templates in the database
z Retrieve report templates from the database
z Update report templates
z Delete report templates

Reporting Overview

URL for Running Applications
Running Reports by Report Template Name or Report Name
You can run reports and report templates. To run a report or report template, you submit a
runReportRequest, passing in the respective report name or report template name. You
can also pass in additional parameters in with a request.
To submit a request to the Reporting API, you post your XML request via HTTPS to the host
URLs in the body of the request. No SDK is needed since you just perform a standard HTTPS
post using the language of your choice. The Content-Type for the request should be text/plain.
Obtaining Information about Reports
You can obtain the following information about reports:
z Report status
z Report results
Managing Report Template Schedules
You can create, update, and delete report template schedules.
Performing Searches
You can search for payment transaction data based on search names such as
TransactionIDSearch, BatchIDSearch, and AccountNumberSearch.
URL for Running Applications
Use the following URLs for running Reporting applications.
Live Transactions

This chapter describes how you can use the Reporting API to perform the following tasks.
z “Running Reports” on page 12
z “Managing Report Templates” on page 14
z “Using Report Templates” on page 15
z “Performing Searches” on page 18
API Notation in this Chapter
The chapter uses the following short-hand notation for referring to Reporting API requests and
parameter information.
requestName (paramName, paramName, [...])
requestName is the name of the request. The request input parameters, if any, are listed in a
parameter list enclosed in parentheses.
Request Authorization Parameter Data
The Reporting API notation in this chapter does not include the authorization information that
is passed with every request. All Reporting API requests require that you specify these
parameters and values as your user information.
TABLE 2.1 User information
Parameter Description
user If you set up one or more additional users on the account, this value is
the ID of the user authorized to process transactions. If, however, you
have not set up additional users on the account, user has the same value
as vendor.
vendor Your merchant login ID that you created when you registered for the
Payflow Pro account.
partner The ID provided to you by the authorized PayPal Reseller who
registered you for the Payflow Pro service. If you purchased your
account directly from PayPal, use PayPal.
password The 6- to 32-character password that you defined while registering for
the account.

Scheduling a Report Template
want to assign a value to. These parameters can be ones previously
saved in the report template or additional ones. The parameter values
take precedence over the values previously saved for the parameters in
the report template.
You can schedule a report template to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The Reporting
API includes functionality to create schedules and to get the results of a scheduled report
template.
Step 1. Create a schedule
To create a schedule for a report template, call createScheduleRequest with the
following parameters.
createScheduleRequest(scheduleName, templateName, schedule)
scheduleName Name that you give to the schedule.
templateName Name of the report template to be scheduled.
schedule One of three values:
daily
weekly (select dayOfWeek value: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday)
monthly (Specify dayOfMonth value as an integer from 1 to 31. If you
specify 30 when the month is 28 days long, the value is corrected to
28.)
The time of the day starts at midnight the previous night. The value
daily, for example, means midnight the previous night to midnight
tonight.
Step 2. Get the results
To get the results of a scheduled report template that is run, call getScheduleRequest
with scheduleName as a parameter.
getScheduleRequest(schedulename)
16 Reporting Developer’s Guide
getScheduleResponse returns all the reportIds and execution dates of the reports that
were run on the schedule.
Step 3. Get the metadata
For each report, call getMetaDataRequest, passing in the reportId as a parameter, to get
the information on how that report is formatted. See “Step 2. Get the metadata” on page 13.
Step 4. Get the report data
Request to get the report data for each report that was run by calling getDataRequest. See
“Step 3. Get the report data” on page 13.
Managing Report Template Schedules
Using the Reporting API, you can update and delete report template schedules.
Update a schedule
