Hi thiago_maturana ,

 

Here are actions you can perform through URL access parameters:

  • Send report parameters to a report.
  • Initiate the export of the report content in a supported file format.
  • Hide or view the parameters pane.
  • Specify DeviceInfo setting.

URL parameters in embedded paginated reports – This capability, already supported in Power BI service, allows ISVs and developers to control their users experience by appending extra parameters to the generated Embed URL. 

For reference: URL parameters in paginated reports in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hey Anonymous , thanks for the reply.
Yes, I saw this possibility to send extra parameters to a report, but actually what I would like to achieve is get what the user selected.

 

Suppose the user has a paginated report with 2 parameters he defined in PowerBi. Parameter A=info1, Parameter B=info2.  I need to get the selected parameter names and values somehow through the javascript client library (or in any other way) before calling the ExportTo Endpoint, so the report will be exported with the parameters the user previously selected.
