API for Automating the OTBI Report download

Hello Experts,
I have a data model and a report created from that data model. I need to automate the report download through an API call. Later, I need to run a Python script for post-processing.
Can anyone please share an API endpoint that I can use for this purpose?
Thanks,
Sam,

HI @Sam Bandara
You can use below method from Catalog service

Use downloadObjectInSession() method to download an object from the BI Publisher catalog for a given user.

You can get the path of bip report from "Schedule Report Job" screen as well.
For example, the path is like "/Custom/kurasaki/per_users_rp.xdo".0 -

Thanks Ravikiran,
One more question.
How do I find the absolute report path?
I tried with this path, "/users/samxxxa@xxxx.com/Reports/All_item_attributes_report.xdo"
But got the following error:
PublicReportService::executeDownloadReport Failure: Unable to download Report for [/users/samxxx@xxxxx.com/Reports/All_item_attributes_report.xdo] Due to unable to find ReportObject
