How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

Operation: query GetReportStatForCrawl( $crawlId: ObjectID! $reportTemplateCode: String! $after: String ) { getReportStat( input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode} ) { crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) { nodes { url description foundAtUrl level httpStatusCode fileExtension headerContentType foundInGoogleAnalytics foundInGoogleSearchConsole foundInBacklinks foundInList foundInLogSummary foundInWebCrawl foundInSitemap } totalCount pageInfo { endCursor hasNextPage } } } }Variables: {"crawlId":"TjAwNUNyYXdsNDAwMA","reportTemplateCode":"broken_image_urls"}
