Checking retention policy for existing datasets

After a dataset is created, is there a way to check the retention policy? I have created some datasets using REST API described in this blog article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/automati...

It seems there's no way. Though the documentation in your link says

HEADERS
Content-Type:application/json
Location:https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/{dataset ID}
BODY
{
  "@odata.context": "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/$metadata#datasets/$entity",
  "id": "7c0b090e--172874c749e0",
  "name": "SalesMarketing",
  "defaultRetentionPolicy": "basicFIFO"
}

I actually get below result when I call that request.
