Information

Reports that contain a lot of data may take a while to generate.

You can use the Reports API to retrieve your reports programmatically at your chosen interval. For example, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also automate reconciliation.

The following endpoints are available:

Endpoint name	Description
Get all reports	Returns a list of all your reports and their details
Get report details	Returns a specific report by passing its `id`
Get report file	Returns a specific file from a paginated report by passing the report `id` and the `fileId`

Reports are available in CSV format using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

To set up access to your reports:

Contact your account manager or request support.
You must:
- Provide Checkout.com with an OpenSSH RSA public key.
- Create and securely store a private key.
- Specify the reports you want to receive, how often, and any filters you want applied.
We then give you:
- An SFTP server
- A port
- A username
- Access to your private key

In your command line, run the following command to create the key pair:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f "checkout-sftp"
This generates two files:
- checkout-sftp.pub – The public key you need to share with Checkout.com
- checkout-sftp – Your private key for accessing your SFTP client
To retrieve the public key using the command line:
- For macOS or Linux, run cat.
- For Windows, run more.
  Alternatively, use your system's file explorer.
Send the public key to your account manager or request support.
Use the private key as a credential to sign in to your SFTP client.

Information

We recommend that you encrypt your secret key using the AES-256 cipher.

For targeted insight and efficient processing, you can pre-filter some scheduled reports by a single field and send them to specific recipients via SFTP. For example, pre-filter by issuing country and send each country's data to the relevant owner.

You can pre-filter the following reports:

You can create a report schedule to automatically generate reports at a specified frequency.

You can choose to receive the reports either in the Dashboard, or your SFTP server. If you choose to receive the reports in your SFTP server, you'll also be able to retrieve them using the Reports API.

Information

To schedule SFTP reports, ensure you configured an SFTP server and created a public and private key pair.

To create a report schedule:

Sign in to the Dashboard.
Go to Reports.
Open the Schedules tab.
Select Create schedule.
On the New schedule page under:
- Delivery type – Select if you want to create the report in the Dashboard, or delivered to your SFTP server.
- Time zone – Select either UTC or the Dashboard time zone (your local time).
- Report details – Under Frequency, select to generate the report Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
  Optionally, provide a name for the schedule in Schedule name.
Under Customize included fields, select the fields you want to include in the report.
Select Create.
The Reports page opens listing all generated scheduled reports, which you can filter by Name, Status, or Type and search by keyword.

You can set up a webhook to receive scheduled reports when they are generated. For guidance, see:
