Reporting

When requesting a report using the [Report Queue](doc:report-queue) or [Report Save](doc:report-save) API methods you may specify `fields`, `metrics`, `filters`, `sorting`, `rows`, and `offsets` in the `request_details` JSON field. The exact parameters passed vary depending on which report is specified. [block:api-header] { "type": "basic", "title": "Getting the Report Definition and Field List" } [/block] The available reports in the Buzz system can be found by GETting a `view` with `"view_name":"reports"`.
