Reports API — read-only

Use the reports API only to retrieve authorized published report metadata and approved report files. Access is optional, tenant-scoped, and disabled unless provisioned by Clearline.

Endpoint names below are customer-facing placeholders until Clearline confirms the exact implementation for your tenant.

List published reports#

GET /api/v1/reports?published_since=2026-06-01T00:00:00Z&page=1&page_size=50 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.clearlinelims.test
Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLE_READ_ONLY_TOKEN
Accept: application/json

Use this request to list published reports visible to the provisioned scope.

Typical response fields may include:

FieldMeaning
report_idClearline-provided report identifier.
report_typeReport or deliverable type, such as COA where enabled.
sample_idsRelated sample identifiers exposed to the authorized scope.
published_atPublished timestamp.
statusPublished or otherwise approved customer-facing status.
download_availableWhether a file download is available for the authorized token.

Retrieve report metadata#

GET /api/v1/reports/REPORT-EXAMPLE-001 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.clearlinelims.test
Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLE_READ_ONLY_TOKEN
Accept: application/json

Use this request to retrieve metadata for one authorized published report.

Download an authorized report file#

GET /api/v1/reports/REPORT-EXAMPLE-001/file HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.clearlinelims.test
Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLE_READ_ONLY_TOKEN
Accept: application/pdf

File download access is limited to published files authorized for the provisioned scope. Clearline Support confirms file availability, retention behavior, and any tenant-specific delivery limits during onboarding.

Not supported in read-only access#

The reports API does not publish, retract, amend, regenerate, approve, delete, or change reports. If your workflow requires report generation or publication automation, contact Clearline Support for a scoped implementation review.
