Power BI client js api: How do I get column headers?

[Eric7]

How do I get the column headers of a table with the Power BI client javascript api?

I am able to get the datafield name (being "Position Type Name" below) with this method: await visual.getDataFields("Values");

But this method does not seem to return the "overridden" name which is what is shown as column header in the table (being "Name" below):

Hi, @Eric7 

Make sure you're familiar with the latest features and limitations of the Power BI JavaScript API. Sometimes, new features or methods are introduced that may be relevant to your needs.

If the JavaScript API doesn't provide the functionality you need, another approach is to use the Power BI REST API to access dataset and table schema information. For information about the REST API, you can check out the following documentation:
