I Store my PowerBI report(.pbix file) in the Azure blob container in my storage account.

I have created an APP with the client ID and client secret and generates tokens from the endpoint.
But when I calling Post an Import in Group API to import my file to my workspace using the file URL that shown in the properties, is returning an error with status code 400.

Please explain or reach me out by helping me how to call an IMPORT API from HTTP REQUEST using AZURE Data FACTORY with web activity.

I am not able to add a file to a body in web activity in Azure Data Factory.

Hi @rohith351,

Have you tested to use the file that storage in 'onedrive for business' with this API? As the document mentioned, it seems not told it allows you to use the link of other cloud storage. (they may contain the verify or authorization so that requests may not succeed processed)

Authorize access to blobs and queues using Azure Active Directory

Imports - Post Import In Group

Creates new content on the specified workspace from PBIX (Power BI Desktop), JSON, XLSX (Excel), RDL, or file path in OneDrive for Business.
