Can I use API to filter a report and export it to PDF several hundred times?

I have a large dataset with several thousand responses, and I need to generate reports for a few hundred subsets of my respondents. Is it possible to use API to filter my report based on a grouping criterion and export each filtered report to PDF? If there is no way to use API to cycle through ALL of the possible options in a particular filter, I can just create a batch file to execute hundreds of URLs containing the unique API strings (with whatever delay I need after each URL).

You could do what you propose, but it would be easier for you to download the dataset and process it on your own. For example, R has a considerable amount of examples and freely available routines that will give you more flexibility than using the API.
