Get Datasources In Group Error

Hello all,

  

I'm using the Power BI API.  Documentation here: Reports - Get Datasources In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

 

I have the group id and report id.  URL: GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/datasources

 

This is the error it returns: 

{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidRequest",
"message": "GetReportDatasources is supported only for RDL reports"
}
}

 

This is for a Power BI report.  How can I determine the datasource?

Hi,

 

This API is just for Paginated reports (rdl) because Then the source is stored in the report.

 

I dont think this is relevant for regular power bi reports because this does not contain Any sources. Then you should use the dataset/source api instead:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/get-datasources-in-group

Or do you use live connection to Shared dataset and want to know which dataset the report is connected to?
