## Generating reports

<div className="argyle-divider" />

### Console

1. Navigate to the <a href="https://console.argyle.com/connections" target="_blank">Connections</a> section of Console and click on an individual user.
2. Select "Generate report" within the **Reports** area of the user's page once all data sets have fully synced.

<Note>
  Depending on the data retrieval speed limits of the underlying payroll platform, it can take from a few seconds up to several minutes after a new account connection before enough data has been synced to generate a complete report. Visit our [Data Delivery Guide](/overview/data-delivery) for more information on the timing of data retrieval.

### API

1. Send a **POST** request to the API's [`/v2/reports`](/api-reference/reports#generate) endpoint

* Specify the [report type](/api-reference/reports#generate-type) in the request path — e.g. **POST** `/v2/reports/voie`

2. Include the following JSON object in the request body:
   ```json theme={}
   {
       "user": "<ID of the user>"
   }
   ```

<Note>
  To ensure full data availability, we recommend subscribing to the [`reports.ready`](/api-reference/reports-webhooks/ready) webhook, which is sent when sufficient data has been retrieved to generate a verification report.
