# Reporting API

{{< docs/shared lookup="developers/deprecated-apis.md" source="grafana" version="<GRAFANA_VERSION>" >}}

This API allows you to interact programmatically with the [Reporting](/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/create-reports/) feature.

> The Reporting API is not stabilized yet, it is still in active development and may change without prior notice.

> Reporting is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about [Grafana Enterprise](/docs/grafana/latest/introduction/grafana-enterprise/).

> If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you'll need to have specific permissions. Refer to [Role-based access control permissions](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/custom-role-actions-scopes/) for more information.
