This blog entry gives a brief introduction to a few of the most widely used meeting report XML APIs:

• meeting-report-sessions
• meeting-report-attendance
• meeting-report-summary

These are the same web service calls that are used to generate the reports underneath the meeting’s “Reports” section.

meeting-report-sessions

This provides a listing of all the meeting sessions that has occurred for this meeting.

Here’s an example of a call:
