Get Dataset Parameters from REST API

navaraj — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 05:19:13 GMT

I tried get the list of parameters using REST API as: https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$group_id/datasets/$dataset_id/parameters" , but get the response as empty array even though parameters are managed.

Result :object(stdClass)#2 (2) { ["@odata.context"]=> string(98) "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$group_id/$metadata#parameters" ["value"]=> array(0) { } }

Does anybody get success in this parameters REST Api, please share your idea? Thanks in Advance.

I just verified that I can use the Get all parameters REST API to get available parameters in a dataset.

Note that the query parameter must be referenced/used in at least one of your queries in your dataset, or it won't be returned by the REST API.

Thanks, i was reassigning parameters to variables which are used in query. I just found out that parameters should directly be used in Query.

Have you tried for Direct Query connection?? Looks like it only works for Import mode.
