How to generate adhoc reports and export to csv using http api?

[ateszika]

Hey,

So we usually create adhoc reports using adhoc views. We select the proper fields then we generate the report and export to csv. Now we'd like to automate this process by using the HTTP API. Is there a way to use the HTTP API so we can generate adhoc reports in csv? Also, with the API we should be able to set the fields that are used to generate the reports from.

Thanks for any help
