# Reports

## Overview

Reports can be used by organization and institution administrators to compile detailed information about how their data is being used. All reports must first be created within the administrator dashboard ([documentation](/guides/administer-an-organization/generate-a-report.md)). They can then be read through the API to facilitate automated pipelines based on report contents.

All reports for an organization or institution can be listed via [report.list](/api/rest-api/reports/list.md), and a single report can be downloaded as a CSB via [report.download](/api/rest-api/reports/download.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
These endpoints assume you have familiarity with this API's [Authorization](/api/rest-api/authorization.md) and [Resource Reference](/api/referencing-resources.md) paradigms.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
