Hi everyone. My script calling REST API Export Report in Group method suddenly started to respond with 500 code. It worked well for months!
REST API Try it section gives the same Response Code 500 and "Message": "An error has occured" in Body section.
What could be the reason of current malfunction? Pls help!
Hi @Anonymous!
The problem is still there and it could not be resolver via your hint link.
The issue is in the timeout on Microsoft PowerBI server side. It throws 500 exception when hitting some internally predefined timeout value. Do you / anyone have an idea how I could manage this timeout parameter while calling REST API method?
