Execute a report — a saved one by reportId

POST /report-runs

Execute a report — a saved one by reportId, or an inline definition validated exactly as a save is — with the reference interpreter over the reporting star schema, and answer the grouped result plus asOf, the fold's per-source watermarks at the moment of the read.

The caller's jobs gate every referenced field at run time, so a saved report outlives a revoked grant only as a 403 ReportFieldsForbidden. Appends nothing: a run is a pure query over the derived read model — the facts behind every number were journalled by the services that own them, and the request row is acknowledged rather than committed. No idempotency key: nothing is written, and the same definition over the same read model answers the same. Requires the analyse, account or admin job.

Access

Requires reports:read.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

No idempotency key: nothing is written, and the same definition over the same read model answers the same.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

None. This call records nothing in a journal.

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: reporting-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://reporting.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`400`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`ReportDefinitionRefused` refusals	The report definition is not valid. `refusals` lists each problem.	Fix each one and send it again.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`ReportFieldsForbidden` refusals	The report reads fields your roles may not see. `refusals` names them.	Leave those fields out, or ask for a role that sees them.
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`ReportNotFound` reportId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
