I am trying to apply a bookmark while exporting the report. I have an angular front end and I am using the power-bi-client module to capture the bookmark from the report:
var bookmark= await embed.bookmarksManager.capture();
var state= bookmark.state
Then i pass the state to .NET backend to create a bookmark with the state:
PageBookmark bookmark = new PageBookmark(state:state);
And finally to call ExportToFileInGroupAsync with the info:
public static async Task<string> PostExportRequest(
string id_execution,
PageBookmark bookmark,
string dataset_id,
Guid reportId,
Guid groupId,
FileFormat format,
PowerBIClient Client,
IList<string> pageNames = null, /* Get the page names from the GetPages REST API */
string urlFilter = null)
{
var powerBIReportExportConfiguration = new PowerBIReportExportConfiguration
{
Settings = new ExportReportSettings
{
Locale = "en-us",
},
DefaultBookmark = bookmark, /////////////HERE
Pages = pageNames?.Select(pn => new ExportReportPage(pn)).ToList(),
Identities = new List<EffectiveIdentity>() {new EffectiveIdentity()
{
Roles = new List<string>() { "role1" },
Username = id_execution,
Datasets = new List<string>() { dataset_id }
}
}
};
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = format,
PowerBIReportConfiguration = powerBIReportExportConfiguration,
};
try
{
var export = await Client.Reports.ExportToFileInGroupAsync(groupId, reportId, exportRequest);
return export.Id;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return e.Message;
}
}
The call works without the bookmark, but it returns a generic BadRequest with it.
How am I supposed to pass the bookmark?
you can practice your call (and validate the format) here
Reports - Export To File In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn
Read about the limitations here
Export Power BI embedded analytics reports API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
(note the limitation on personal bookmarks)
NOTE: The bookmark name may not be what you think it is. Retrieve the bookmarknames to see what the format is. Should be bookmark<guid>
