Hi Anmoldeep,
You cannot get Created By / Created Date / Modified By / Modified Date directly from the Dashboard REST API response. The cleanest enterprise solution is to enrich your Power BI metadata using the Activity Events API or Microsoft Purview Audit logs, and join that information using Dashboard ID and Workspace context. The current official dashboard REST schema confirms those audit fields are absent.
Kindly refer Microsoft documentation for more details here.
