The scenario I'm trying to solve for is that, I need to generate Monthly Statements (think of a bank) to PDF. Each PDF is stored in a blob store and attached to an activity in dynamics. I've been all up and down the API and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but wanted to just check a few things.
1-If I use the QueryString in a browser, passing in the Parameters, the report renders and the PDF downloads. I've tried using a HttpClient in C# to replicate this but all I ever get is an HTML page. I'm not sure if that's because the HTML is returned first and a subsequent call returns the PDF or it's an authentication issue.
2-I've tried using the API but when I got through all of the authentication handshake items, I received an error that the report wasn't in a dedicated capacity. I know, it's right there in the instructions as a big warning. I'm trying to get dedicated capacity setup but just wanted to make absolutely sure there wasn't a way to do this through the WebAPI.
Does anyone know why this works as expected through the browser but won't work through Code? On the same note, each month I expect to be printing roughly 500k of these, so I assume premium capacity would be needed no matter what but any guidance of suggestions on how to determine how much I might need would be helpful (i know this is a wide open Q, just looking for general guidelines if you've done anything similar).
