How to read all users call logs at once?

I am working on to access RingCentral Call Reports using API access.
Our requirement is to fetch the Outbound call logs of all the users (Company Call Logs) registered under my organization, at once.
The API documentation states that to fetch the call logs of all the users at once, we have an account call log API, i.e., '/account/~/call-log' and we are trying to access the same.
What we need are the exact equivalent records that we get using "Analytics Portal" under "Reports" menu of "RingCentral Admin Account".
Below is the Request URL that we have been accessing to fetch the records:
https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/call-log?direction=Outbound&type=Voice&view=Detailed&dateFrom=2018-08-01&dateTo=2018-08-30&page=1&perPage=100
When we generate the analytical reports from Admin portal, it shows thousands of outbound calls made by the company's agents and when we hit the above request URL it gives an empty response. We have tried the same from the available "API Explorer" in the developer's account and still, no data got loaded.
Please do suggest if we are missing something in the process or if there needs to be something activated from RingCentral portal? Or if there is any other way to track the call activity of the employees using API access?

Phong,
I'm having this strange case. Please see below:
I fetched the records for the Extn. 33345 (The extn. is associated to Peter Burke) for the date 2018-09-19. From my admin panel of RC, I used the filters and it showed me aroung 20 records or so as the outbound calls that were made on the mentioned date. But when I use the API, the results are different entirely. Have a look:
CASE 1: (Extension Level)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request URL:
https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/call-log?extensionNumber=33345&a...:
CASE 2: (Account Level)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Request URL:
https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/call-log?extensionNumber=33345&direction...:
After seeing this I looked into other returned results that I was getting and yes, the API response data don't match with the records that I get from my Admin panel from RC under "Call Log" heading.
Please help me in understanding this here.

Hi Scott,
That sounds a very simple feature and doable with the Company Call Log API. What I see from the Request URL above is the "devtest" environment. When you said that you access your company call log via the "Analytics Portal", is that your on real (production) account? If that is your production account then the request url above is pointing to a different account, which is your sandbox account and that could be the reason why you don't see any call log. If that is the case, then just remove the "devtest" from the request URL and try again.
If you want to see a useful demo/tutorial about how to access the call log, read data and visualize the data, please read this blog and learn more from the step-by-step tutorial.
