Hi,
I know Activity Download report can be downloaded from online or SFTP. Can it be reached directly through REST API calls? If yes, how?
Thanks

Agree - the documentation around reporting API, specifically activity reporting feature in UI vs API is convoluted and confusing.
API docs make reference to SFTP account type being required and steps to enable but business account does not have/show this feature anywhere (i followed instructions, and, looked around to see if it moved - no luck).
Whatever the supported, preferred method is, the API docs do not line up with the UI nor with the API service itself.
