API Refreshes Data Set 400 Bad Request error after first time

Hi,   I am not able to find the problem with an API call to refresh a dataset. It worked once and it doesn't anymore. It gives a 400 Bad Request Error on GetResponse(). The call works if I do a GET...

Hi,

 

Error 400 is an HTTP general error.

 

 

Try to replace the URL with the following:

 

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/325d21e4-403b-455f-0000-XXXXXXXXX/datasets/b19ac36a-bb5b-XXXXXXXXXX/refreshes

 

Under the 

 

System.Net.WebRequest.Create

 

function, then check the results.

 

Regards,

Michael

    Hi,

     

    Thansk for the response. I have tried using 'myorg' and also my company name in this place. I get the same result. Isn't strange that the GET works fine and the POST doesn't. Also, why worked once and not after.

     

    If you can think of something else I can check, please let me know.

    Hi again,

     

    I tried with a new report. Again, it worked for a few times initially and now it doesn't work anymore with a 400 Bad Request error.

      Hi alexisc67,

       

      This happened to me once but I don't remember if it was 400 bad request error. How many times do you refreshed it? The maximum ammount of refreshes in a day is 8. If you exceded it will stop to work.

       

      If you need to refresh more than 8 times you should consider a streaming dataset.

       

      Best regards,

      Could it be that you hit the refresh limit of 8 refreshes per day (or 48 in case of a workspace on a Premium node)?
