Admin - Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin API outputs incorrect Datasource information

Hello,

Admin - Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/datasets-get-datasources-as-admin?tryIt=tr...) has been listing wrong Datasources Information when it is iterated with the DatasetIDs from the Admin - Datasets GetDatasetsAsAdmin API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/datasets-get-datasets-as-admin).

 

Below is the code snippet of how I'm iterating using PowerShell. I'm authenticating using Service Principal which has the required permissions.

//

 

$DatasetsAPI = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/datasets"

$Datasets = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $DatasetsAPI -Headers $headers -Method GET -ContentType "application/json"

$DatasetID = $Datasets.value.id

 

# Forloop to retrieve Datasource info for each DataSetID

foreach ($Id in $DatasetID){

 $DatasourceAPI = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/datasets/$Id/datasources"

 

try {

$Datasource = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $DatasourceAPI -Headers $headers -Method GET -ContentType "application/json"

}

 

Catch {

$Datasource.value | select-object datasourceType, datasourceId, gatewayId, connectionDetails, @{n="DataSetID";e={$Id}}| Export-csv $ErrorPath -NoTypeInformation -Append -force

$iserror = $true

}

 

#Writes the Final output to a csv file

finally {

$Datasource.value | select-object datasourceType, datasourceId, gatewayId, connectionDetails, @{n="DataSetID";e={$Id}} | Export-csv $Path -NoTypeInformation -Append -force

 }

 $Datasource = $null

}

 

//

 

As for the result, the following dataset ID shows the connection details as '@{path=Goals; kind=Goals}' and when we run the same API in MSFT website it shows the actual results. This has been inconsistent in terms of the Dataset IDs that it will output the Connection details with this process.

If anyone has come across this use case and has a solution would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
