Helper IWay to find the absolute URL when switchMode is called?
HI alohaes,
If these operations do not send any requests in web browser trace, it mean switch mode function only interact with embedded iframe to turn on edit mode layouts and not send any requests. (this mode has been integrated into the embedded contents)

Hi alohaes,
I checked the client API document but not found the function directly get absolute URL.
Perhaps you can try to use web browser debug or fiddler to trace the request URL when you invoke the switch mode function.
Steps:
1. Open the web page where you are using the powerbi-client JS API with switchMode.
2. Open the developer tools in your web browser. You can do this by pressing F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows, or Cmd+Option+I on Mac.
3. Click on the Network tab.
4. Perform the action that triggers the request you want to trace.
5. Look for the request in the list of network requests. You can filter the requests by typing in a keyword in the search box.
6. Click on the request to view its details, including the request URL and response data.

alohaesGreetings! Thank you for your help and I tried looking through the requests from the dev console like you said but could not find anything related to mode switching request when switched to edit mode. The search filter shows up as empty. (Searched with keywords switchmode and edit)
