Create a Calling Detailed Call History Report using the API

[Jeff Marshall]

I am trying to create a Calling Detailed Call History Report using the API. I issue a /report/templates command. It tells me the report template is #500.

I run the Create a Report API to create a report with the ID of 500 and it shows
"message": "Report Template ID provided in request does not exist",
"trackingId": "WEBEX-DEV-PORTAL_3fb867cc-f642-4086-aea1-1fb619bb345e_22"
}

Suggestions?

Based on the trackingId, the request to create the report was attempted through the "Try It" feature of the developer portal but that will not work, it's a limitation of the developer portal as noted on https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/reports/create-a-report.
"The 'templateId' parameter is a number. However, it is a limitation of developer.webex.com platform that it is passed as a string when you try to test the API from here."

You will need to use an exteranl REST client, such as Postman, in order to make the Create a Report request so the templateId can be pass in the request as a number instead of a string.
