Power BI streaming datashet URL not supported - Too Long

[tssmch]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to stream data from a Salto Systems (access control) server to Power BI but I am having an issue with the length of the Push URL.

The Salto server would not accept such a long URL. I have tried several URL shorteners but nothing seems to work (tried through Powershell to change the $endpoint = "https://api.powerbi....." to something like $endpoint = "bit.ly/....." without any luck, since the shortened URL cannot communicate with the server (getting a 404 error).

Is there anyway to shorten the Push URL??

thanks in advance

At a minimum you need the Semantic Model GUID and then Push Key.  There's no way around that.  However - that URL is static and I am surprised that you cannot do this via an URL shortener. Maybe these shortener services only work with GET request whereas the push obviously is a POST request.

Thanks for your reply,

I guess what you are saying makes sense, on the other hand I wasn't expecting a url length limitation...

Maybe there is a shortener that can send out POST requests... I will look into it

I am now trying to work around the problem, by building a port listener that will be able to get the info from the server on a specific port and translate it into a powershell script that will send the real time data to power bi...

Hope it will work
