Hi Anash, Thank you for the response, I have over 1100 customer Ids to loop through and it is only growing. Short of doing these requests in parallel and dealing with the request limitations, it would be much simpler to make one call to get the summary data across the campaigns.
Will there be a way to download a previously defined custom report from the interface? (since the interface already handles this global summary scenario) The only reason I chose to use the reporting api over the daily email is because the email sends a link to a page that uses javascript to asynchronously start downloading the report instead of emailing the end result csv file or zip file. A solution on such a process is not very appealing. I appreciate the time! -Bayron On Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:52:26 AM UTC-4, Anash P.
