Dataset {dataset_id} is not Push API dataset

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying to retrieve records from within a dataset/table and i'm receiving the following response:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "ItemNotFound",
        "message": "Dataset {dataset_id} is not Push API dataset."
    }
}

This is the GET url i'm using is:

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/tables

The dataset that i'm looking to connect to is an existing dataset.  What exactly is an "Push API dataset"?  Is this a setting from within the dataset itself? I'm fariely inexperieinced in the Power BI API thus far and am looking for a bit of guidance on this prticular issue.  Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The problem is you are trying to retrieve the table on the exisiting dataset, which is created from PowerBI Desktop/PowerBI Service. In such case you couldn't able to use this API.

This API is supports only Push DataSet

So what is Push DataSet ? 

Instead of creating the dataset from PowerBI Desktop/Service,you need to create it using API (Push Datasets - Datasets PostDatasetInGroup)

Who the heck creates reports in this way.... what use is this API - the expectation is that it performs the way the OP wants it to. Can someone answer the question properly please?

If this one doesn't list the tables used within a Tabular Model/dataset then which API should be used?

Thanks

So there are now 2 ways to create a dataset.

Is there a way to convert between the two? Or to point an existing report to a API ready dataset ?

Can we still use powerbi desktop, to create/modify the report(s) ?
