Get app icons calling the API from PowerShell?

[pborah]

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve all the icons used in our published apps by calling the API from Powershell but it doesn't seem to return anything. It's however not throwing any error either.

I am the owner of all those apps and the workspace admin for their source workspaces. Below is my code. Although the API documentation doesn't mention anything specific about getting the icons, I had a bit of help from co-pilot. Which is why I understand that this capability may not even exist since co-pilot can just make stuff up sometimes.

$credential = Get-Credential
Login-PowerBI -Credential $credential


$apiUrl = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/apps"
$response = Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $apiUrl -Method Get


$savePath = "C:\Users\xyz\Documents"

foreach ($app in $response.value) {
    $appId = $app.id
    $appName = $app.name
    $iconUrl = $app.iconUrl
    $iconPath = Join-Path -Path $savePath -ChildPath "$appName.png"
  
    
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $iconUrl -OutFile $iconPath

    Write-Output "App icon for '$appName' downloaded successfully to $iconPath"
}

@lbendlin yeah I think so too. Earlier when I was trying out fetching workspace/report/dashboard details via script, I found there to be some properties that were nested arrays (subproperties) that aren't expliticitly mentioned in the documentation unless you do a deep dive, so I figured maybe that is the case here. But after trying out atleast 20 different variations of the code above, I'm beginning to think this capability does not exist yet. It should but it doesn't.
