API Call - Help with "Add Cache Refresh Plan"
I'm not sure why they moved away from using SwaggerHub for documentation, but the docs there still have an example of how to call this api https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/microsoft-rs/PBIRS/2.0#/CacheRefreshPlans/AddCacheRefreshPlan And when I use the browser tools in Edge it captures the POST call to create a cache refresh plan.
Below is an example I captured when creating a scheduled refresh for my Power BI report called "local Adv Works"{ "Owner": null, "Description": "test2", "CatalogItemPath": "/local Adv Wrks", "EventType": "DataModelRefresh", "Schedule": { "ScheduleID": null, "Definition": { "StartDateTime": "2025-07-01T04:00:00+10:00", "EndDateSpecified": false, "EndDate": "1901-02-01T00:00:00+10:00", "Recurrence": { "DailyRecurrence": { "DaysInterval": 1 } } } }, "ScheduleDescription": "", "ParameterValues": [] }

Thank you for the Swagger link and the message body example! The Swagger will be a useful resource going forward--until Microsoft releases a new version of the API, I suppose.
Turns out that I was close, having modeled a JSON object from a GET response. However, I was providing a null "ID" value which was not wanted by the server for the POST.
