How to measure time of report uploading using REST APIs?

[jaryszek]

Hello,

this is my rest api which i am using to upload report:

# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/imports/post-import-in-group

# Use the PowerBiCostMgmtApp1 Rest Client environment for the CostMgmt1 tenant.

# @name getGroups
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups?$filter=name%20eq%20'{{groupName}}'
Authorization: Bearer {{$aadV2Token appOnly}}

### 

# Remember to update importId with the returned import ID.

@groupId = {{getGroups.response.body.$.value[0].id}}

POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{{groupId}}/imports?datasetDisplayName={{fileDisplayName}}
Authorization: Bearer {{$aadV2Token appOnly}}
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=MfnBoundry

--MfnBoundry
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="{{filename}}"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

< ./{{filename}}
--MfnBoundry--

how to measure time of it? I know that i can check import Id status if this is finished but i need whole time of uploading...

Thanks,
Jacek

Hi,

issue is not solved. There is no option to do this and this totally sucks.

Hi @jaryszek,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Using REST API’s we can get report data sources, report data dependent items,  report history snapshots, report parameter definitions or various other things

but currently it is not possible to get the time when the report was uploaded.
Please refer to this article to explore the available options and try out the ones that best suit your specific requirements.: Reports - REST API (Power bi report) | Microsoft Learn

Ok so if you have report which take 30 min to upload how to automate workflow to refresh it after? 

how people solve it?

Best,
Jacek

[lbendlin]

Set a refresh schedule before the upload. That will result in an automatic refresh attempt after the upload completes.

[jaryszek]

Ok but if report is not uploaded, i will get failure? What then? 

[lbendlin]

correct the issue and try again?

[jaryszek]

My workflow for customer should ends after uploading and refreshing report. 

So the sequence of rest apis will create workspace, upload report and refresh after updating. 
If refresh lasts 30 min i need to know it somehow to trigger rest api immidietely after it is done. 

Sheduled refresh will not work in this case.

Best,
Jacek

[lbendlin]

There is no guarantee that a refresh request will be honored. There is no guarantee that a refresh will complete successfully. If a refresh fails you should not automatically retry (looking at you, Microsoft!!!!) but should first investigate and correct the issue.

This is not something you can fully automate.

[jaryszek]

I am catching the whole idea but still if this will check status i could wrap it in some java code not in the loop but waiting for the result and make the action like: If succed--> refresh., if failure --> throw an error and fix the report. 

Not workaround loops and waiting some time to try refresh. 

Best,
Jacek

There's nothing else available beyond the polling you are already doing.
