I want to access the admin report data from an HTTP API.

This [post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/api-get-count-of-latest/91580/2) seems to indicate that something like this will work:  
`/admin/reports/posts.json`

I am getting an 404 error now.

All the URLs like this, do not seem to work. `/admin/reports/staff_logins.json`

I can run the API commands from the [Discourse API Documentation](https://docs.discourse.org/) fine.

My main objective is to get this report:

`/admin/reports/user_notes.json`

I’m using GET with the Api-Key and Api\_Username of an admin account.

Can your share a cURL of the request you are currently issuing ?

Thank you for your help. Here is the curl script I am using

```plaintext
curl --request GET \
  --url https://community.domain.com/admin/reports/staff_logins.json \
  --header '"Api-Key": "stringForAPIKey"' \
  --header '"Api-Username": "stringForUsername"' \
  --header '"Content-Type": "application/json"'

```

I am getting a 404 error

Can you send me a curl script that works on your system?

I am using Discourse 2.9.0.beta10

The user is an admin.  
The API key works for other API commands listed on the [Discourse API Documentation](https://docs.discourse.org/) site.

Thanks again.

I just did a test on Meta with

```plaintext
curl https://meta.discourse.org/admin/reports/staff_logins.json \
  -H 'Api-Key: asdasdasdasd' \
  -H 'Api-Username: Falco'

```

and it worked just fine for me. Can you try like that?

@Falco Wow. You’re the man. This solved my problems.

The source of my problem was that I am using a tool called Insomnia to test the API and I don’t have much experience with Insomnia.

Thanks for helping me. I was stuck for a week and I am grateful for your assistance. This also solved a different problem I was having with the user\_notes reports.
