Yellowfin Report web services are used to render Yellowfin reports on an external webpage or user interface. These services will allow you to run a report and return it in a specified format, such as HTML, PDF, CSV, etc. Some additional web services are also included that cover certain administrative tasks that you could perform on a report.
Note: To be able to call Report web services, you need to have a Yellowfin server license.
