REST API Refresh Dataset In Group Response Location

nicg — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 22:32:46 GMT

Asynchronous refresh with the Power BI REST API - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

This documentation describes a "Location" response from the "Refresh Data In Group" REST API command which includes the refresh ID. I have not been able to return this property in PowerShell. Does anyone know how to access this response?

The command looks like this and is successful, but I don't get a response.

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Method Post -Url "groups/$($WorkspaceId)/datasets/$($DatasetId)/refreshes" -Body $refresh

This came up last week in another thread. The documentation is incorrect. Use the GET request to retrieve the requestId (note it is requestId, not "refresh ID").

Which part of the documentation is incorrect? Do you mean the Post method doesn't ever respond with the request ID? Using the Get method to retrieve refresh history is the only way to get the most recently submitted refresh?

Thanks,

Nick
