Using the Reporting Services WebService

SQL Server Reporting Services is built on top of the Report Server Web Service. Whenever you interact with Reporting Services, you are indirectly communicating with the Reporting Services Web Service API because it is the Reporting Services Web Service API on which all other interfaces are built. It should come as no surprise, then that you too can communicate directly with Reporting Services using the Report Server Web Service.

Why Use the Web Service?

Pretty much anything you want to do with Reporting Services can be done
using the Web Service endpoints. Listed here are some of the more common
tasks that you can accomplish using the Web Service endpoints:

• Get a list of reports on a Reporting Services server.

• Get a list of accounts authorized to run a report.

• Get a list of rendering methods supported by Reporting Services.

• Create a subscription to a report.

• Manage the authorization of users.
