PowerBI Apps REST API returns "Certain required feature switch is disabled" error

Alcz — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 15:01:01 GMT

I'm obtaining token via https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/token, and it has App.Read.All scope (resource is set to https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api). It works just fine with reports and dashboards API. But with apps - https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/apps - it returns an error:

{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidRequest",
"message": "Certain required feature switch is disabled"
}
}

I've tried to use web client token (window.powerBIAccessToken), but it returns the same result. My app registration have and consented all permissions. PowerBI Pro trial has ended, but I'm not sure it is required for this API. Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

Hi @Alcz,

The issue is gone now. It seems a little delay happens in the deployment. Please try it out.

It seems to be working, but not in all applications. Is there any permission other than App.Read.All required for this api to work?

Hi @Alcz,

Did you get any error messages?

Since it works, is it possible that the token is expired?

No, I don't see any error message, and the token is valid. The problem is - now after latest api changes were rolled out to production, I get successful response, but it does not contain all apps.

This raises question - what is an "app" that this api returns?

Hi @Alcz,

It is the Apps that are installed. Please refer to the snapshot below and check out the result.

Some standard apps like JIRA, GitHub and ClickDimensions are not returned by api although they are listed on "Apps" page.
