How to save generated report through REST api calls?

Neoload Documentation https://www.neotys.com/documents/doc/neoload/latest/en/ht...

****************************************************************************************************************
Says that in order to generate a report through REST calls I have to send this parameters.

POST http://localhost:7400/Results/v1/Service.svc/GenerateReport HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
{ "d": {
“ApiKey”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”
"TestResultName": "testA",
"ComparisonReport": true,
"OtherTestResultName": "testB",
"CustomReportContents": true,
"Format": "PDF"
}}

****************************************************************************************************************

QUESTION: Is there a parameter to specify where to save the report? Is there a field to specify a directory in the END Point?

Dear Shahboz,

The GenerateReport returns a report ID that must be used as the input of DownloadReport that returns the report binary (PDF content for a PDF or a Zip file content for the HTML format).

I am also sending a POST request to http:/localhost:7400/Results/v1/Service.svc/DownloadReport

{
"d":
{
"ReportId": "{{ReportId}}",
"ApiKey": "{{APIkey}}"
}
}

Does this api accept parameter where I can pass in where to save the downloaded file??

The response of the API Call to DownloadReport returns the bytes.

This is the responsibility of the client calling the API to write the bytes to a file on disk.

then get the reportID. make another CURL Post request

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:7400/Results/v1/Service.svc/DownloadReport -d "{\"ReportId\": \"fb517607-1dd8-4ce2-b4fc-bc829b62383f\"}" >> TestResults.pdf
