Export CU Use API

Is there a good resource on how to obtain CU use for reports and each action in the premium capacity? I need to develop a report for recovering cost of the capacity, and want to base it on CU's used. Hoping for a month of data.

Hello - yep I am aware of the capacity metrics app. It only keeps two weeks worth of data. So I need to design a process to extract data from its semantic model ever two weeks. Also, trying to export the data from my capacity via a power query drains my capacity of the CUs.. It would be cool if I could just use a script to export this from the API or if there was something better than the two weeks worth of data in the semantic model.

It's as if Microsoft is actively trying to prevent you from doing this.  I know, weird...
