Adobe Analytics API - how get metrics out of Adobe to send to tableau?

[#1]

Hey Guys,

currently we are trying to export data via webservice api to push it to a vizualisation tool like tableau or microstrategy.

Unfortunately the description of the Reporting REST API is not clear. I would need a list of REST calls that do the following things:

1. 1.   Identify a ReportID by a report name
2. 2.   Get the data of the ReportID (ideally as a CSV)

Has someone a solution for this?

Thank you very much

1 - The ReportID that is returned from the Analytics 1.4 Reporting API is a generated ID for the specific instance of a report that was run so there is no way to go from a report name to a specific ReportID.

2 - The following link to the getting started page for the reporintg API will take you to the documentation for how to get the data after running a report. The data is returned in a JSON object.
