Export to PDF API : FeatureNotAvailableError

[ThomasBFuzeo]

Hi,

I am trying to export report as PDF via API but i got the 404 response : FeatureNotAvailableError

- The workspace is under licence premium PPU

- my account is under licence premium PPU

- I have checked global config, download as pdf is authorized
- I can download the report as pdf by power bi service

I am running out of idea, if some people know something that I forget !

Thanks for your help

I have created a empty report when i just have imported some excel data to show, I do not use embedded report, but workspace in power bi service with premium per user plan.

The manual export works normaly by the interface.

I have checked all the doc linked and stil blocked. 
I have checked my tenant setting by power shell, query looking for the tenant settings "export to file for report" but i can not find it.

Did you read this article: Export Power BI embedded analytics reports API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

It mentions:

• The report you're exporting must reside in a workspace backed by a Premium, Embedded, or Fabric capacity.
• The exportToFile API, is not supported for Premium Per User (PPU).

[ThomasBFuzeo]

Like I said i am not using the embedded part, but Power bi service.
In this documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/rest/api/power-bi/reports/export-to-file-in-group and this one https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#considerations-and-limitatio... they mention all the limitation, but they are not talking about premium-per-user can not export

[AmosHersch]

The API documentation you are referencing is referring you to the limitations in that article:

Those limitation say that the API is not supported for reports on a Prmeium Per User capacity. It doesn't matter if the report is embedded or not. Unfortunately it's a limitation for the API - the report must be in a workspace which is on a dedicated capacity.

[ThomasBFuzeo]

Yes i have use the api to check the capacity of my groups and i get dedicatedCapacity: true

{

    "isReadOnly": false,

    "isOnDedicatedCapacity": true,

    "capacityId": "334CD63F-1C0A-4DBE-8F08-45D4994D973B",

    "defaultDatasetStorageFormat": "Small",

    "type": "Workspace",

    "id": "xxx",

    "name": "TEST"

}

[AmosHersch]

I don't know if isOnDedicatedCapacity returns "true" for Premium Per User (PPU).
But as the limitation says, if it's indeed a PPU capacity like you've said then this is the reason you get the error.

Hi @ThomasBFuzeo ,

This can be due to multiple reasons-

1.Power BI APIs have rate limits for the number of requests per minute or hour. If you're hitting these limits, you might get a 404 response or other errors. If you're making a lot of requests in a short time, this might explain the problem.

2.Exported reports can't exceed a file size of 250 MB.

3.All related semantic models in the report you're exporting must reside on a Premium or Embedded capacity, including semantic models with a Direct Query connection.

If the reasons stated above doesn't solve your problem, you can refer this documentation for performing some checks and understanding the limitations.
