exporting a specific or mutiple visuals using Rest API to PDF for embedded Power BI reports

Hi All,
i am dealing with embedded reports and end user is looking for downloading specific visuals from this website. I have checked REST API documentation provided by microsoft but there is no precise way to acheive this.

looking for a solution where i can add a button on this web page and user can either select visual name from drop down list or button to download it to pdf or png format.

HI @husnainnourose,

In fact, it is hard to use to invoke rest API to export. The required parameter and credentials is hard to passed from URL query strings.

I'd like to suggest you create a powerapps to invoke rest api about export operations, then you can manage it to power bi report side.

Invoke REST API from Power Automate and Power Apps – Clavin's Blog (wordpress.com)

Set up Power BI integration - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

@Anonymous actually we got a new requirement from client to implement new functionality to download a specific page, visual or multiple visuals from a embedded Power BI report. For now client have to manually take screenshots using paint or any other application avaialable.

i got below link :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/get-visuals

but i got a question can i bind this thing with any button or drop down? and in case i can get names of all visuals or any specific visual then how can i pass it to exporttofile API?

i hope i have explained my point precisely.
