    After much trouble shooting the issue seemed to be with using vscode, when I switched to powershell ISE it worked fine. I'm assuming vscode and powershell ISE had some differences in versions of PS or the modules

Hi Anonymous ,

According to your description, it seems that it only return empty json when call REST API to get activitiy logs. Howevery, before it is working normally. Am I right? To troubleshoot this issue, please follow the steps below:

1. Check the PowerShell module version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Power BI PowerShell module.

Update-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt

2. Verify the authentication: Make sure that you are authenticated correctly to access the Power BI service.

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount   # or use aliases: Login-PowerBIServiceAccount, Login-PowerBI

3. Check the date range: Verify that the date range you are specifying is correct and includes the desired activity logs. Double-check the start and end dates in your script.      

4. Test with a single date: To isolate the issue, try running the script with a single date instead of iterating over a range of dates. This will help determine if the issue is specific to the date range or if it persists even with a single date.
