Embedding a report using REST API with a parameter?

i4 — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 07:12:20 GMT

Hello everyone,

I created a report in Power BI with a dynamic parameter, where modifying the parameter (p1) changes the data set in the report.

Then, using the REST API, I generated a link to embed the report, where I also defined the parameter (p1) in the endpoint.

Reports - Get Report - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

After embedding the report in the Powet BI playground, I do not see any changes (i.e. the parameter does not change), why?

HI @i4.

AFAIK, current power bi does not support to use query string to update parameter.
For update report parameter which defined in query parameter, I'd like to suggest you use the REST API ‘Datasets - Update Parameters In Group’ API:
