Working with pro and premium, we wanted to create Usage tracking reports to answer specific questions like</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Which reports arent being looked at in our apps and workspaces?</P><P>Which reports are getting the most usage etc.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>We used the Scanner APIs</P><P>&nbsp;</P><OL><LI><STRONG>GetModifiedWorkspaces</STRONG>: Retrieves a list of workspaces that have been modified within a specified time range.</LI><LI><STRONG>WorkspaceGetInfo</STRONG>: Provides detailed information about a specific workspace.</LI><LI><STRONG>WorkspaceScanStatus</STRONG>: Checks the status of a scan operation for a workspace.</LI><LI><A href="https://rukiatu.com/get-power-bi-metadata-with-scanner-api/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><STRONG>WorkspaceScanResult</STRONG>: Retrieves the results of a scan operation for a workspace</A></LI></OL><P>We had stored Procedures and a Data Factory that would load the data every night to give us history.</P><P>We used Service Principal to get access</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So we Create an app with a client secret. Assign it Power BI service permissions. And grant it amin consent.&nbsp; Then in Power BI Admin. Go to Admin portal. Tennant Settings. Developer Settings and Allow Service principals to use Power APIS.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So the other question is. is there a better way of doing this part in Microsoft fabric or is this still the same?</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 20 Sep 2024 07:48:50 GMT https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Engineering/Scanner-APIs-to-create-Power-BI-usage-tracking-reports-Changes/m-p/4161667#M4170 DebbieE 2024-09-20T07:48:50Z Re: Scanner APIs to create Power BI usage tracking reports - Changes in Fabric https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Engineering/Scanner-APIs-to-create-Power-BI-usage-tracking-reports-Changes/m-p/4162883#M4176 <P>Still the same.
