Configuring FlexReport Web API

You can easily view reports created through FlexReport Designer on web, with the help of FlexReport Web API and a client Html 5 report viewer control.

The FlexReport Web API plays a vital role in communicating with the report viewer control (on the client side) which loads and displays the html content exported by FlexReport.

A FlexReport WebAPI service can be created in two ways:

Using C1 Web API Edition
Using Standard Visual Studio Web API Template

The following sections demonstrate how to create and configure FlexReport Web API, by using ComponentOne template and Standard Visual Studio template.

Note:

Once you have successfully created Web API URL for Report Services, you can access and view reports stored in the service using FlexViewer for MVC and Wijmo Viewer. For more information on how to view reports, see Viewing Reports in FlexViewer.
