I have noticed when using the SDK, if a request fails you get the error code and related message, such as BadRequest, but you do not get any more information. If I was to use Fiddler I can see in the response there is a much more detailed message which the SDK does not appear to pass on.
Is there a way to get the message that I am missing or is the recommended way to use a HttpClient and construct the requests manually? Seems like a pretty bad oversight. The SDK is a huge time saver, but that is a big flaw.

Hi @JAnder ,
There is such a tool, but only specific personnel can use it, not open to the public. Please review the follwing link, hope it can give you some clue and insights.
Extract error details from Power BI response
Make HTTP requests with the HttpClient class
Best Regards
Thanks for the reply, so it does seem if you use the SDK you cannot get error messages, you will need to use the rest API direct. A shame, seems more like a bug than a feature.
