Solutions can be run from your own application using Unaric Report's API. You can use this, for example, to have your application run a Solution every time a new user signs up.

## How it works

To run a Solution, send an HTTP request to the API endpoint below. When a Solution is run using the Solution API, the Running User will be the Running User that is configured on the Solution. Also, the API Keys that are sent in the API Call must belong to the owner of the Solution.

### Endpoint

:::BlockQuote
https\://reportbuilder.cloud4j.com/api/solution/SOLUTION\_ID
:::

### HTTP GET

Include parameters in the query string:

```bash
GET https://reportbuilder.cloud4j.com/api/solution/SOLUTION_ID?apiAccessKeyId=API_ACCESS_KEY_ID&apiSecretAccessKey=API_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY&filterValue=FILTER_VALUE&CustomParameter=customParameter
```

### HTTP POST

If you are using `POST` then don't add the parameters to the URL but instead to the request body:

```bash
POST https://reportbuilder.cloud4j.com/api/solution/SOLUTION_ID
```
