Export to file - Power BI Report with Filters / Parameters
Hi Anonymous
The documentation currently states that the Bookmark name (whilst accepted as a parameter) is not currently available.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/exporttofile#pagebookmark
The only way to update output via bookmarks, is to pass in the bookmark state.
And the only way that you can get the bookmark state (that I know of) is via the JavaScript API. https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Bookmarks#capture-and-get-a-current-view-as-a-bookmark-object-and-apply-it-back-on-the-current-session
The 'capture' function will return a single string value that represents the bookmark state. You can then pass this into the API.
This is far from ideal... but I think the export API endpoint is still under preview, so will likely change quite a bit.
The idea I raised for adding missing functionality to this API has also moved into the planned phase. So hopefully, it won't be too long before these missing features are available. https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=0e056f7d-34b4-4778-974f-929228effcdd

Hey,
Anonymous , did you solve your issue?
Workaround: Adding a dimension table to the row level security feature (the dimension you would like to filter on), and then filtering using the identities paramenter and then just looping on that should solve the issue. 🙂
