4. What is REST?
The SQL Server 2017 Reporting Services REST API provides programmatic access to the report server catalog.
For example, basic CRUD operations can be done on folders, reports, KPIs, data sources, datasets, refresh plans, subscriptions, etc.
The REST API can also be used to provide more advanced functionality, such as:
Navigate the folder hierarchy
Discover the contents of a folder
Download a report definition
Modify default report parameters
Change or execute a Subscription
A whole lot more
The REST API is a RESTful successor to the legacy [SOAP API](

5. SOAP vs Rest SOAP uses XML and WSDL Rest uses JSON or XML and Swagger
SSRS SOAP interface since 2005
