    Hi mwade_cte1926 ，

     

    "Try It" feature be disabled on every pages in PBI REST API has been confirmed as an active known issue. 

     

    A temporary alternative solution is to use postman.

    Get access token first, then you can call Power BI Rest API in postman by this token.

    For reference: Power BI REST API using postman - generate embed token.

    I will keep an eye on this case and update if there are new developments.

    And  I will mark my reply as the answer for more people to see this message.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi mwade_cte1926 ,

 

I'm so sorry for your bad experience. I have checked the offical documents about Power BI REST API, "Try it" has been indeed removed. As far as I know, "Try it" has been disabled by the Documentation Team. Currently, there is no ETA about this yet. I will keep an eye on this case and update if there are new developments. I will mark my reply as the answer for more people to see this message.

 

Best Regards,
Rico Zhou

    Thanks for the response, even though it's quite a shame.  The "Try It" feature was a very useful feature that I used quite frequently weekly.  Is this something that we can vote to get back?

        Thanks Anonymous , the article works.
        For other users reading the article that Rico referenced, please note:
        1) You will likely need to create the App registration FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION (i.e. User Owns Data option)

        2) Make sure to record the Application Secret which is displayed on your screen after the app is registered

        3) When granting permissions in the Azure Portal, be sure to check "Grant Permissions for [Your Organization Name]"

        If anyone is having issues, feel free to PM me.
