Exporting Power BI embedded report or visual to PDF using Node JS

husnainnourose — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 05:15:37 GMT

i got power bi report embedded to webpage. we received requirement from client to export/download single or multiple visuals from this embedded report to either pdf or png.

I am looking for any node js solution to this problem. As, ideally i have to bind visual downloading with a button on this web page from where user can download report/visual.

i have found this solution but its in c#
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to

further, there is no proper procedure written for binding visual export/visual with any button

its deprecated i guess

as export to file API is a rest API so can it be integrated with other languages also ?
or for now its just for C# as mentioned in sample code?

Hi husnainnourose,

>>or for now its just for C# as mentioned in sample code?

Obviously, the Rest API should not limit the usage of programming languages. I check on the npm and find the power bi client package, you can try it if helps:

powerbi-client - npm (npmjs.com)
