Hello! I’m using the Sales Report sample app found here…
…to help me get an idea of how I can use the APIs to do what I need. I was thinking of repurposing this code for my own use; however, there is a comment under the main function:
“# We don’t recommend running this script in a production environment”
My question is: why?

Where are you seeing this comment? I just took a look at the documentation and I don’t see it. 
It’s a comment in the code, right under the main function in the sales-report-sample.py I believe
I’m checking with the team on this but I believe that’s because this seeds data and then reports on it and you don’t want to seed data in production.
