> **Description:** Access settlement data, transaction reports, and payment event histories for accounting, reconciliation, and financial reporting.

# Report API

The Report API provides programmatic access to settlement data, transaction reports, and payment event histories for accounting and financial reporting.

## Who can use this API

This API is available to:

- **Accounting partners** using [accounting keys](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/partner/partner-keys.md#accounting-keys) -- access covers all merchants who have granted the partner access to their data. Only accounting partners can use this API with partner keys; other partner types do not have access.
- **ePayment and Recurring Payments merchants** using their standard sales unit API keys.
- **Donations organizations** using their merchant-level API keys.

VM number merchants cannot use this API directly. They must designate an accounting partner, who can then retrieve the data on their behalf.

See [API access](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/report-api/api-guide/overview.md) for full details and instructions on granting an accounting partner access to your sales unit data.

**Need sales context too?**

The [Sales API](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/sales-api/README.md) gives accounting partners access to order lines, VAT breakdowns, amounts, and categories alongside the money movement data in this API. Join on `reference` or `pspReference` to correlate the two.

**Not sure if you need this API?**

- **Just need to view or download transactions?** You can do that directly in the [business portal](https://portal.vippsmobilepay.com) without any development -- see [View transactions](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/portal.md#view-transactions).
- **Merchant looking to automate accounting?** You can [give an accounting partner access](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/report-api/api-guide/overview.md#give-access-to-an-accounting-partner) to your data so they handle the integration on your behalf.
- **Want to become an accounting partner?** See [Become our partner](https://vippsmobilepay.com/en-NO/partner).
