How to measure time of report uploading using REST APIs?

jaryszek — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 11:06:00 GMT

Hello,

this is my rest api which i am using to upload report:

# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/imports/post-import-in-group # Use the PowerBiCostMgmtApp1 Rest Client environment for the CostMgmt1 tenant. # @name getGroups GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups?$filter=name%20eq%20'{{groupName}}' Authorization: Bearer {{$aadV2Token appOnly}} ### # Remember to update importId with the returned import ID. @groupId = {{getGroups.response.body.$.value[0].id}} POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{{groupId}}/imports?datasetDisplayName={{fileDisplayName}} Authorization: Bearer {{$aadV2Token appOnly}} Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=MfnBoundry --MfnBoundry Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="{{filename}}" Content-Type: application/octet-stream < ./{{filename}} --MfnBoundry--

how to measure time of it? I know that i can check import Id status if this is finished but i need whole time of uploading...

Thanks,
Jacek

There's nothing else available beyond the polling you are already doing.

Hi @jaryszek,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Using REST API’s we can get report data sources, report data dependent items, report history snapshots, report parameter definitions or various other things

but currently it is not possible to get the time when the report was uploaded.
Please refer to this article to explore the available options and try out the ones that best suit your specific requirements.: Reports - REST API (Power bi report) | Microsoft Learn

Set a refresh schedule before the upload. That will result in an automatic refresh attempt after the upload completes.

My workflow for customer should ends after uploading and refreshing report.

So the sequence of rest apis will create workspace, upload report and refresh after updating.
If refresh lasts 30 min i need to know it somehow to trigger rest api immidietely after it is done.

Sheduled refresh will not work in this case.

Best,
Jacek

There is no guarantee that a refresh request will be honored. There is no guarantee that a refresh will complete successfully. If a refresh fails you should not automatically retry (looking at you, Microsoft!!!!) but should first investigate and correct the issue.

This is not something you can fully automate.

I am catching the whole idea but still if this will check status i could wrap it in some java code not in the loop but waiting for the result and make the action like: If succed--> refresh., if failure --> throw an error and fix the report.

Not workaround loops and waiting some time to try refresh.

Jacek

Hi,

issue is not solved. There is no option to do this and this totally sucks.
