Get a value from Power BI Embedded

So I embedded a report and I would like to get a value from a card tile within the report for use outside the iframe. Is this possible?

You can more or less get a value by capture the "dataselected" event in Power BI Javascript API. However, per my test, it doesn't work for a card visual.

var reports = powerbi.embed(dashboardContainer, config);
	
reports.on('dataSelected', function(event)
{
var data = event.detail; 
         console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, ' '));
		 
})

@Eric_Zhang Thanks for your answer.

 

What I'm trying to do is get the dates that are selected by a custom visual called: Time Brush Slicer. Now I already tried the dataselected on that visual but it didn't give anything in return. How should I approach this problem? I basically just need the start date and the end date of the filtered data. 

 

Edit: The custom visual performs a visual filter on the linechart. And as far as I know you can't get the filters on a visual level but only on report level. Am I right about that?
