# Schedule reports with ReportExport and ClickExport

This guide explains the workflow for using the [ReportExport](broken://pages/2f32767dfce29400b314b9959f4cf227c0f1983d) and [ClickExport](broken://pages/9383141a0e76eeac472b0dc4901fde431b50db37) endpoints and how to make the best use of [Replay](/brand-api-reference/brand-api-reference-v12/reference/jobs/jobs.md#put-a-dvertisers-accountsid-jobs-jobid-replay), the report caching feature.

`ReportExport` and `ClickExport` allow you to schedule a report to be generated in the background. This is an asynchronous process, meaning that the API doesn’t return the report file immediately.

Note: Read the best practices for exporting reports and exporting clicks to learn more.

### How to get your report

1. Request the report by making a GET call to [ReportExport](/brand-api-reference/brand-api-reference-v12/reference/report-export/reports.md#get-a-dvertisers-accountsid-reportexport-reportid) or [ClickExport](/brand-api-reference/brand-api-reference-v12/reference/clicks/clicks.md#get-a-dvertisers-accountsid-campaigns-campaignid-clicks-clickid) with all your required report parameters, like dates and filters. The API will respond with job details, including a job ID and a download URI.
2. Periodically check the job status by checking the [Jobs](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/reference/job-overview) endpoint using the job ID. Wait for the job Status to change from `QUEUED` or `RUNNING` to `COMPLETED`. Alternatively, make use of a postback (webhook) notification, which will alert you when the job status changes to `COMPLETED`.
3. Download the report file once the status is `COMPLETED`, using the download URI provided in the initial response.

### Cache reports with Replay

If you make a request to `ReportExport` or `ClickExport` with the exact same parameters as a previous request, a new report will not be generated. Instead, the impact.com API will recognize the duplicate request and return the job details for the already existing report.
