Get Reports API - createdBy is null

ShyamKumarKG — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 12:30:58 GMT

Hi,

We are trying to fetch reports from power bi using the API:

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports

1. We are able to get the response, but "createdBy" and a few of the response fields are null.

2. Also, do we able to map the "createdBy" information programmatically?

Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shyam Kumar K G

Are you on Premium or Shared capacity? Gen1 or Gen2 ?

Can't really help you as I have no access to that environment type. For reference these fields do not even come up in the response on Premium Gen2.

Hi @ShyamKumarKG ,

Base on my testing, there is no property "createdBy" in the returned result if you use REST API Reports - Get Report In Group.

You can use REST API Admin - Reports GetReportsInGroupAsAdmin to instead of the previous one to get the property “createdBy”... The precondition is you need to get the required permissions.

Best Regards
