Retrieving Reports through ANT

To retrieve Report using Metadata API, we need to know
I ).  "Developer Name" of the Report
II ). "Folder" Name of the Report

To get these details, run the below SOQL query :

1	SELECT Name,DeveloperName,FolderName FROM Report

Assume, the output of the above query is :

Name	DeveloperName	FolderName
Multi-Product Speakers	Multi_Product_Speakers	Public Reports
Cap Review: duration type = multi/zero	Cap_Review_duration	TAL Reports

Now, the "package.xml" file is :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>unfiled$public/Multi_Product_Speakers</members> <members>TAL Reports/Cap_Review_duration</members> <name>Report</name> </types> <version>44.0</version> </Package>

Here:
- In the back end "Public folder" = on UI "Unfiled Public Reports" =  In Metadata API "unfiled$public".
- If it is a custom folder then give the name same as SOQL query result.
- If it is a "My Personal Custom Reports" those cannot be retrieved using Metadata API. Here is the Idea Link from Salesforce.
