Hello ,
I have power bi Pro , I am following all documentation to GET /POST /PUT method for datasets and reports in groups.
I can embedded reports succesfully in my App using power bi API . And even I am getting datasets ids.
POWER BI REST API
Q: How to add rows in dataset in Group? ( I have documentation link
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/pushdatasets/datasets_postrowsingroup - but before rows i need tables)
Now , I am trying to GET tables ,following below documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/pushdatasets/datasets_gettablesingroup
But , not getting tables.
Then I read in solution that we need to create dataset in app , then only we can create tables and add row in it . I tried this option too , but still not getting succes yet .
This is my code :
// for specific dataset with POST method(to crate dataset)
app.get("/dataset", [ensureAuthenticated, generatePBIAccessToken], function (req, res) {
var data = req.query;
data.user = req.user;
var options = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/' + app.locals.POWERBI_GROUP + '/datasets' ,
headers: {
'cache-control': 'no-cache',
'authorization': 'Bearer ' + req.session.access_token,
'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'accepts': 'application/json',
'charset': 'utf - 8',
'request': 'System.Net.WebRequest.Create(powerBIDatasetsApiUrl) as System.Net.HttpWebRequest'
},
form: {
"accessLevel": "View",
"datasetId": req.query.datasetid,
"allowSaveAs": true
},
body: {
"name": "SalesMarketing",
"defaultMode": "Push",
"tables": [
{
"name": "Product",
"columns": [
{
"name": "ProductID",
"dataType": "Int64"
},
{
"name": "Name",
"dataType": "string"
},
{
"name": "Category",
"dataType": "string"
},
{
"name": "IsCompete",
"dataType": "bool"
},
{
"name": "ManufacturedOn",
"dataType": "DateTime"
}
]
}
]
}
};
console.log("************************************ for datasetkeys");
console.log(options);
console.log("To create dataset specific dataset with POST method");
console.log("************************************");
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
data.embed = JSON.parse(body);
res.render('pbi-dataset', data);
});
});
and This is output for above code :
What I am missing ? Please suggest thank in advance .
Solved! Go to Solution.
Issue solved :
var options = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/' + app.locals.POWERBI_GROUP +'/datasets',
headers:
{
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + req.session.access_token,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body:
{
name: 'Monthly Data',
defaultMode: 'Push',
tables:
[{
name: 'July-2018',
columns:
[{ name: 'ProductID', dataType: 'Int64' },
{ name: 'Name', dataType: 'string' },
{ name: 'Category', dataType: 'string' },
{ name: 'IsCompete', dataType: 'bool' },
{ name: 'ManufacturedOn', dataType: 'DateTime' }]
}]
},
//json: true
};
This is what I was missing , remove double quotes "" which is bold in above code
