Power BI REST API to Get Column Used in Report

[ekimakIA]

Hi,

Can you please help us with the REST API through which we can fetch Columns used in the Report? We checked the Dataset and Report API but it didn’t show any results related to Column.

Thank you.

Hi @ekimakIA，

According to my research, I didn't find such a Rest API which can list the column information used in the report. The only Rest API I could find is the below one, and it supports only Push datasets.  It will return the information about a dataset, including table names, column names and relationships etc.

Push Datasets - Datasets PostDataset
Also, I found some tools that can help you export the column information used in the report. Hope they can help you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I tried "Push Datasets - Datasets PostDataset" API and I created Dataset, Tables and Column in PowerBI through this API as shown in below screenshot

But I want to fetch this column details and I tried "Push Datasets - Datasets GetTables" API but in the result i'm only getting table name

Can you please help me with this and let me know like which specific REST API you have tried which gives information about a dataset, including table names, column names and relationships etc?

Thank you
