Beware that some reports may take significant time to execute, and your call to the API may timeout prior to the completion of the report execution. The report execution itself has a default timeout of 60 seconds as it waits for the report to complete, you can override this by passing a query parameter of "timeout=n" where n is a value in seconds.
