Access pdf report serverside for post processing in external pipeline

Question

I'm trying to add a module to odoo to integrate it with other in-house custom software.
For
that I would like the user to click a button in odoo that generates a
pdf report. However instead of presenting it to the user for download,
it should be passed to another program server side already.
I
understand how to add a button on the odoo interface and how to generate
reports. What I'm missing is a way to access that pdf report from
inside the python code of an odoo module instead of downloading i

Digging in the existing odoo code base I found the IrActionsReport model exposes a member function render_qweb_pdf. That turns out to do exactly what I need.

I can use it as follows:

<something>.env.ref('<my_report').render_qweb_pdf(res_ids=<my-model-ids>, data=<my-extra-data>)[0]
