Can't get datasets info
Hi there,
When I run the following in Postman:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets
I got the following in response:
Hi, I have the same problem.
In the end, I found that all these datasets are not under 'myspace' but a 'groupspace'.
Maybe, you can check it.
If you want to get the datasets under the group, you need to get the groupId first, and use this API

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets

weiyu_chen Maybe something up with permissions? Use the Try it feature here: Datasets - Get Datasets - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs.
Worked for me. Also, this worked in Powershell:
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url 'datasets' -Method Get

Anonymous Thanks for the reply. Yes, we have 7 datasets in the workspaces, 6 of them are Dynamics 365 related, 1 is from the How-to guides (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-quickstart-learn-dax-basics), that's the Contoso Sales Sample for Power BI Desktop file. As you can see in the following sreenshot:

Hi weiyu_chen,
I suppose this issue may relate to that report(power bi rest api not has corresponded permissions to process on the guide report), perhaps you can try to remove that report and try again.
