# Request a delivery defect report

Use this report to identify late or missing deliveries that drive customer contacts. It lists order lines with promised dates, actual delivery dates, and shipment details so you can find regional or carrier hotspots and fix root causes.

## Endpoint

```http
POST https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/reports/reportRequests?reportType=DELIVERY_DEFECT&reportVersion=v1
```

The request body is optional. When the request is accepted, the API returns a `requestId` you can use to track status and download the file.

## Sample request

```http
POST https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/reports/reportRequests?reportType=DELIVERY_DEFECT&reportVersion=v1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
WM_QOS.CORRELATION_ID: b3261d2d-028a-4ef7-8602-633c23200af6
WM_SEC.ACCESS_TOKEN: eyJraWQiOiIzZjVhYTFmNS1hYWE5LTQzM.....
header 'WM_SVC.NAME: Walmart Marketplace

{}
```

### Sample request with filters

Use `rowFilters` to scope the report to a specific time window, carrier, or region.

  "rowFilters": {

    "carrier": ["USPS", "FedEx", "UPS"],
    "destinationState": ["CA", "TX", "FL"]
  }
}
```

   -H 'Accept: application/json' \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

        "format": "CSV",
        "rowFilters": {
          "orderPlacedDt": { "from": "2025-11-01", "to": "2025-11-30" },
          "carrier": ["USPS"],
          "destinationState": ["CA"]
        }
      }'
```

> Use a new GUID for each call. Keep the `requestId` to track status and download the report.

## Track and download

1. **Check status** until the report is ready.
   ```http
   GET https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/reports/reportRequests/{requestId}
   ```
   Status values: `RECEIVED`, `INPROGRESS`, `READY`, `ERROR`.

2. **Download** once status is `READY`.
   ```http
   GET https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/reports/downloadReport?requestId={requestId}
   ```

If you prefer not to poll, subscribe to **Report status notifications** and receive a callback when the file is ready.
