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 which gives me the refresh history, no problem. The POST doesn't work after the first time it did.

 

The call is made by a WebApp that resides in Azure. The dataset is an import from Azure SQL.

 

The code is below:

 

protected void UpdateReport(int index)
{
try
{
// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.
System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/company/groups/325d21e4-403b-455f-0000-XXXXXXXXX/datasets/b19ac36a-bb5b-XXXXXXXXXX/refreshes");
// Set the Method property of the request to POST.
request.Method = "POST";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", accessToken.Value));
// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentLength = 0;
System.Net.WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
// Display the status.
System.IO.Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Display the content.
txtResponseFromServer.Text = responseFromServer;
//Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
// Clean up the streams.
reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();
}

catch (Exception e)
{
txtResponseFromServer.Text = String.Format("An error occurred: '{0}'", e);
}
}

 

Any help is appreaciated.

 

Thanks,

Alexis

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 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.

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)?

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,

Alexsander

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.
