Export Embedded Power BI Report

AnonDev — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 17:27:19 GMT

Hi,

I'm currently tasked with exporting Power Bi Reports in an Angular/.Net Embedding Application with the newly released functionality as seen here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#step-3---getting-the-file.

I'm using the snippets they provided here but I'm getting no Export Id when running this line:

var export = await client.Reports.ExportToFileInGroupAsync(workspaceid, reportid, exportRequest);

Is groupId different from workspaceid? Any other ideas on why this is not working? With no workspaceId the polling doesn't work which means the export doesn't work.

Thanks for the help.

Hi @AnonDev

Group Id is the Workspace Id.
One restriction is that you have to be running in a premium capacity. Other limitations are detailed in this blog post > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#limitations

I am just getting started with this API myself, but haven't hit this issue (yet). I am assuming that other calls you are making to the API are functioning,,, so it isn't a permission thing?

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for the reply. I'll double check with the premium capacity. Other work I've done on this is just collecting Embed information and I haven't run into permissions issues there. If you do get it working, would it be possible to share the differences with the given snippet from Microsoft?

Of course. I will try and spend some more time on this later and share what I find.
Cheers, Matt

hi @Anonymous and @AnonDev ,

Just want to check if you guys have found solution for this ?

I am facing a similar issue with the async call client.Reports.ExportToFileInGroupAsync using the service principal.

During the debug session, my Visual Studio kept waiting for the response.

Thanks
