GET/ad_report_task

This method returns information on all the existing report tasks related to a seller.

Use the report_task_statuses query parameter to control which reports to return. You can paginate the result set by specifying a limit, which dictates how many report tasks to return on each page of the response. Use the offset parameter to specify how many reports to skip in the result set before returning the first result.
