Appearance
Reports API
Reports are feedback items submitted by users or external systems. Reports can be promoted to issues, dismissed, or reordered on the board. External systems use project tokens to submit reports via the API.
Requires the Reports feature
Report creation is only available when the Reports feature is enabled for your workspace. If it is disabled, requests return 403 with "feature_restricted": true.
Submitting reports from an external system?
The Sending Reports guide walks through minting a token, posting a report, and triaging it on the board.

]Create Report
POST /api/projects/{projectId}/reports
Creates a new report. For external submission over the API, authenticate with a project token carrying the report:create ability — personal access tokens cannot create reports through the API. Reports created this way are tagged source: 1 (Api) with created_by: null.
Reports filed by a signed-in user inside the kendo app are tagged source: 0 (Manual), with created_by set to that user.
Request Fields

|---|---|---|---|
title | string | Yes | Report title, max 255 characters |
description | string | Yes | Report description, max 65,535 characters |
author_name | string | No | Name of the external reporter |
files | file[] | No | Up to 5 image attachments (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, tiff; max 3 MB each) |

-F "title=Screenshot of the bug" \
-F "description=See attached screenshot for details." \
-F "author_name=External CI" \

-F "files[1]=@error-log.png"The response includes attachments_count reflecting the number of files stored with the report.

]Delete Report
DELETE /api/projects/{projectId}/reports/{reportId}
Returns 204 No Content on success.
bash
curl -X DELETE https://{tenant}.kendo.dev/api/projects/1/reports/1 \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-token"Attachments
Reports support file attachments (images, documents, and other allowed file types). Use these endpoints to manage files after a report has been created — for uploading files at report-creation time, include them in the Create Report files[] field instead.
Upload Attachment
POST /api/projects/{projectId}/reports/{reportId}/attachments
Uploads a single file and links it to the report as a polymorphic attachment. Requires multipart/form-data with a file form field.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
file | file | Yes | Max 20 MB. Allowed: pdf, doc(x), xls(x), ppt(x), odt/ods/odp, txt, csv, json, xml, md, jpg/jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, tiff, mp4, mp3, wav, ogg |
Images are automatically converted to WebP server-side for efficient storage; the returned filename reflects the stored file name.
