We are currently using the Get Report Definition endpoint on Fabric API to create Power BI Project files that we can then open with Power BI Desktop.
The process works very well except that we recently discovered that the custom images that are returned in the payload of the report definition seem to be broken. We base64 decode these files and the png no longer works. As a result all report icons in PBI Desktop are broken.
Has anyone else worked with this or have any insight into this?
Below is a sample response from one of our reports.
Thanks
Moshe

Hi @gotters ,
Actually that's a known issue with the API, I believe it will be fixed about a month from now.
Hi any news about this issue still need to decode these images

Thanks Amos. Unhappy to hear that its a bug - was hoping I just needed a different decode process as per the comment below - but happy to hear it should be fixed.
Thanks for letting me know
Hi @gotters,
It seems like fabric use other type of encryption/encode these image contents so that the common base64 format not works to be recognized them on power bi side. Perhaps you can try contact to the dev team to confirm which encode they used to encryption these data.
