Programmatically create Subscriptions for PBI paginated Reports using Power BI REST API

Debasish_p — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:49:14 GMT

Hi All,

Is there a way of programmatically create Power BI Subscriptions using Power BI REST API.

There are 2 steps to export and retrieve an PBI Report/Paginated Report:

1. Use the API to Export the Report: https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/ExportTo

2. Use the API to retrieve the exported: https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/exports/{exportId}/file

How to email the same to Report users? @

Hi @Debasish_p
Thank you for reaching out microsoft fabric community forum.

Currently, the Power BI REST API doesn't support creating email subscriptions programmatically — those still need to be set up manually in the Power BI Service.

Submit your idea to Microsoft. If you get enough votes, they may consider in future. Raise your idea here:

Setup a custom connector in power automate and use those APIs to export the file then hand the contents over to send email from outlook, if not MS Outlook, research your email providers API abilities. If you are using some other API engine, then plug outlooks APIs into that engine.
