Reports are a way of exporting data from your Paddle system for further analysis or manipulation. They let you work with a snapshot of your entities and data at a historical point in time.
You can choose from a selection of reports, and filter the data that's included on them. To work with the most up-to-date entity data, fetch or list the entity directly instead of using a report.
Report entities hold information like:
- What kind of report it is.
- How the data on the report was filtered.
- How many records are on the report.
- Whether the report is ready to download, or if it's still processing.
Report entities don't hold report data themselves. They describe the criteria used to generate a report.
After Paddle has finished generating a report, you can use the Paddle ID of a report to get a download link for a CSV file that includes your report data.
