Woot! Yeah i love that the Try It feature was added to the rest api. I also like that it helps to generate the URL so you don't have to necessarily think about that from the PowerShell side of things. Or regular code for that matter.
@@The_Internet_Is_Overrated Hi guys I am also looking for the same. Did any one of you found solution ? I know how to do it in Power Query but technically I would have to refresh that query or whole report in order to get the result populated. I was more looking into if somehow we can embed API dynamic link + API key inside DAX and bring the result as per requested id.
Hey Adam! do you have any idea what happened to the try it button that the API documentation had? I think I missed some update, I used to remove dataset from usage metrics reports when its update got stuck.
Excellent Video. Question - Is there a Rest API or set of PowerShell CmdLets, which can be used to run a PowerBI Report and Export the Report results? Thank you, Dana
Could you advise how can we genera the authorization code without using the Microsoft login prompt? I have the user credentials stored in the app and would like to silently login using username and password. The biggest problem is the account has MFA enabled.
Hello ! Is it possible to send a command via API REST to print in PDF an embedded report ? Or is it something not supported yet ? I found nothing about it! Many thanks !
Thanks Adam, very interesting use of REST with Power BI. I'm looking into how to automate Report Migrations from Dev/Test into Power BI Service Prod, this combination of PBI API and PowerShell seems to be the right way to do it.
Yes you can. You'll need to create a custom connector in Flow pointing to Power BI Rest APIs. This link might be helpful: medium.com/@Konstantinos_Ioannou/refresh-powerbi-dataset-with-microsoft-flow-73836c727c33
Hey Adam, in the PowerShell code you have a Login-PowerBI statement. Would that work in an SSIS package or does someone have to physically login with their username/password when that part of the command runs? Thanks for all these videos, they are fantastic!
Hi @@marcusvincent3023! I dont know how to create this implementation with python. But... See this powershell code for practice an logic: #Create secure password $userPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "{YOUR-PASSWORD}" -AsPlainText -Force #Create credentials with secure password $credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("{YOUR-MAIL}", $userPassword) # Login with the credentials programmatically Login-PowerBI -Credential $credentials Enjoy!
Hello! great video!Do you know by any chance if there is a REST api to get the CONTACT of a PBI report? I just find the one about CreatedBy which is not giving me what I want! Thanks!!
Adam Thanks for the video. I've been hitting my head around if we can use slicer selections values to pass as an API parameter or even as a variable parameter to a SQL stored procedure? Sorry if that question doesn't necessarily fit the topic of your video but it was the closest thing i could find.
Hey Adam! Thanks for this video, Same as below, could we use these APIs directly in PowerQuery? As a jsondocument(Web.component()) ? I'm trying to do it but i cannot find the good way to configure access to the datasource....
Hello, First off, OMG I have learned so much from you two. Thank you for everything!! Hoping you can help I have a cloud service that uses client ID and client secret plus api uses. I want to pull this data into Bi desktop. I have not been able to get PowerBI.to the service? I tried the “for web” option but have not been successful. The API is fully documented as well. Not sure how to get the data to bi and have it refresh often as I need to know when certain records are created? I have looked at all your videos and can’t find one that explains this type setup. Thank you
We have 100 ish reports that get data from on prem SSAS via gateway, and have no easy way of knowing which report will be affected if we change a cube because there is currently no reporting like this in the service which is disappointing. The REST api can be used to fill this gap, but its a significant piece of work. To automate this programatically, dealing with the oAuth2 and token is a nightmare and of course you need to register your app and have appropriate access on the tenant which is a BIG drama at large companies. To make life WAY easier, it would be great if the data like workspaces, reports, dashboards, datasets, gateways, users etc. could be dumped automatically daily into a dataflow dataset that you could query with Power BI and not have to write REST code to do all this.
Hi Adam, great video again! Thanks. I was wondering if there is anything like this for Power BI apps - all I can find in the MS documentation is REST API on Get Groups but that only gives me a list of apps - not a list of users that can access it. I tried to use $expand parameter here as well, but it did not work. Any suggestions, please? Thank you!
Hi Adam I'm stuck with this problem, I am querying an API that only allows you to bring back 10 records at a time. Then you have to do another call and provide the next page key to get the next batch of 10 records and so forth. Is there a way for Power BI to use a variable to pull in the next page key from the response, and then use it in the API call to cycle through the data till the end of the data.
I'm brand new to Power BI. I want to make a simple POST request to a REST API. It doesn't seem possible using this tool. I've found a article on the web that describes how easy it is to transform the default get method using the Text.ToBinary function. My ideal of easy and Microsoft's are apparently very different. I guess a simple dropbox selection is too much to ask for?
What you need is not API I believe. Check the link below, while it is not exactly what you are after, but it may help you implementing something similar for exporting to Excel: www.biinsight.com/exporting-power-bi-data-to-sql-server/ You can also use DAX Editor if the dataset you're trying to export to Excel is published to a Workspace that is backed by Premium capacity. This maybe helpful if that's the case: www.biinsight.com/quick-tips-export-power-bi-desktop-and-power-bi-service-model-data-as-a-whole-with-dax-studio/ Besides all of the above, you can always analyse your datasets in Excel, well, if you're allowed to.:)

Hi, I am getting data from an API that has two parameters like below in the URL: Param1930=2021-01-01&Param1931=2030-12-31&format=JSON These are the start and end dates of the report that I have manfully set up in the API URL. But, how do I make it dynamic so that everyday that I refresh the data in Power BI connect to the API and pull the latest data? My current M code is something like below: let Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\Ali\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\EHD7MHFN\1120")), #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"txtProvider", "txtIncidentNo", "FltDate", "LogTime")
Unfortunately no. Not at this time at least. Be sure to get something over at ideas.powerbi.com. On the Power BI Premium side, you could do something with the XMLA endpoint.
Hi Adam, Any chance you can do a video on how to refresh data on a dataflows please. Refresh data to occur just the one time. I use a SharePoint register dataflows data to create a dataset in Power BI desktop. I have never used Power BI Rest API hence a simple video to introduce the capability will be amazing.
Hey, off-topic question, does anyone know if it is possible to add a button that can perform its action without holding Control key. (Pressing the button with just the left click and not with ctrl+lmb)
Within Power BI Desktop, you need to do the CTRL+Click. This is really a design mode issue. When published to the service, it would just be a regular click without the use of CTRL. This is because within Desktop, a regular click is a selection of the visual itself.
power Bi tile not displaying contents from office planner.Our requirement is to view office planner content in power BI page. We are using tiles with link set to office planner however we end up having error message "The content cant be displayed in Iframe".Is there any other method to enable displaying content in tiles.thanks..Please guide..
Not overly familiar with Planner. Maybe look to see if they have a special embed url for their content? I know UA-cam has something like that. If you try to use a full UA-cam URL in an , bad things will happen. Using the embed URL for a UA-cam video works better. This is also the case for using the embedded content in a published App. Something to look into.
Is it possible to refresh PowerBI with multi-factor authentication through API? I tend to save the credentials in the code but is not very safe and if the company has a policy of MFA is not currently possible - only disabling MFA for that particular user.
If you're gonna use APIs in an app then what about app passwords for MFA? I haven't tested this method myself, but it might be doable. support.office.com/en-us/article/create-an-app-password-for-office-365-3e7c860f-bda4-4441-a618-b53953ee1183

@Adam, @ Guy in a Cube , can you pls put video how to integrate with Angular 7+ framework pls.. I'm not able to understand few documents.. there's some package outdated issues is there.. kindly help us on this
I've heard requests before to be able to extract data from the REST API. I think the direction the product team is going is to really look at the XMLA endpoints for that and just use normal AS connectivity, as opposed to lighting that up from the REST API. I could definitely see value in having that ability from the REST API, although I also know people would abuse it and could potentially add unneeded overhead on the service.
HI Adam , I want to know in PBI service can you use post method . I have 6 API calls and I am using Bearer token to get the most recent data. Data is refreshing in PBI desktop when i hit refresh button with new data comes in . However, i am facing issue ( API Calls is passing the token values i am calling in post method in power query first ) when i publish it and want to schedule the page refresh. It throws me dataset credential error . it seems like it's not taking token for those API Calls. If you have any solution then please let me know or provide me your email to discuss more . Thanks

I'd like to buy that one, but can't find the same shirt you're wearing that has the Tardis correctly in blue at the top and bottom. If you can reply with a link to where you bought that would be hugely appreciated!!! :) Thanks!

Inability to read from the dataset through the rest API is bizarre.
I've heard requests before to be able to extract data from the REST API. I think the direction the product team is going is to really look at the XMLA endpoints for that and just use normal AS connectivity, as opposed to lighting that up from the REST API. I could definitely see value in having that ability from the REST API, although I also know people would abuse it and could potentially add unneeded overhead on the service.
Shows me an error 403

HI Adam , I want to know in PBI service can you use post method . I have 6 API calls and I am using Bearer token to get the most recent data. Data is refreshing in PBI desktop when i hit refresh button with new data comes in . However, i am facing issue ( API Calls is passing the token values i am calling in post method in power query first ) when i publish it and want to schedule the page refresh. It throws me dataset credential error . it seems like it's not taking token for those API Calls. If you have any solution then please let me know or provide me your email to discuss more . Thanks
