usage metrics report data from power BI API.
Hi,
I am looking to retrieve usage metrics report data from the Power BI API and save it in Fabric Lakehouse to maintain historical records. Since the usage metrics report in Power BI Service only shows data from the past 30 days, I want to store this information daily to analyze which reports are being used and which are not.
I have power bi pro license. I have registered an app in MS entra with the following API permissions:
- User.Read
- Dateset.Read.All
- Report.Read.All
- Tanent.Read.All
- Workspace.Read.All
- Workspace.ReadWrite.All
Despite having the necessary permissions, every authentication attempt results in an unauthorized access error, preventing me from retrieving the data from the API. I am unsure if I am using the correct API endpoints to access the usage metrics report. Following are my concerns:
- How can i resolve authentication issue?
- Is there any easier way to solve this?
- Which API should I use to retrieve usage metrics report data accurately?
Note: I am just a tanent in MS entra, I do not have admin rights.
