Hi zhhorton, 

 

As mentioned in your data egnieering forum post: 

[ISSUE] Power BI REST API - GetDashboardsAsAdmin - Microsoft Fabric Community

When using $expand, a $top also needs to be specified. 

 

In my enviornment: 

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/dashboards?%24expand=tiles

returns a 400 response with this body: 

{
  "error": {
    "code": "InvalidRequest",
    "message": "This API expects $top query option to be provided."
  }
}

 

Where as this:

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/dashboards?%24expand=tiles&%24top=10

returns a 200 code with data

Thank you @tayloramy, that is very helpful.

 

I have found the $top parameter is necessary much more than the documentation mentions which causes some confusion. I appreciate your help!
