send images via REST API

Pikachu-Power — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 11:48:10 GMT

Hello,

is it possible to send daily images from Power BI Service to a folder? Maybe the webpage or HTML Code can be used for that?

Many thanks.

Yes, that is possible. You can specify the report page that you want to export, and you can export as PNG. Here is the documentation for standard/premium workspaces:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/exporttofileingroup

There are examples in this forum on how the mechanics of the export work.

Hi Pikachu-Power ，

See my example below:

Pls note that the report must be in a dedicated capacity,otherwise it will return an error.

Best Regards,
Kelly

Dedicated capacity means I need Power BI Permium?

The example API call is for Premium. There is another similar call for shared capacity. It doesn't ask for the group id.
