Uploading .pbix file to powerbi service using Power BI Rest API

Sunkari — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 09:33:22 GMT

Hi All,

Can we upload .pbix files to Power BI service using Power BI Rest API?

We are planning to create an admin tool(kind of a user interface), where user can upload .pbix files to power bi service. And also user should able to assign the uploaded templates to different customers.

@Sunkari

Please check this sample getting-started-for-dotnet-import on Github.

The sample shows you how to use the Create Import operation to upload a PBIX file to Power BI. This allows you to take a package of content in a PBIX file, and import it into a Power BI workspace. The Imports API splits the PBIX package into its individual parts including datasets and reports. It will then provide a metadata link between the actual import operation and the objects that were created from it.
