Pushing tiles to create new tiles on Dashboards through the API

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I'm trying to use the API to create new tiles on Power BI, however I can only see GET functions on the documentation. Could someone please help me out? If there isn't a functionality for this, can someone reccomend a workaround? I need to use an API to create dashboards, and seemingly the only way to do that is to create a new tile and add visualisations to it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

As far as I know, currently Power BI support REST API:
"Add Dashboards" (add an empty dashboard)

"Clone Title" and so on.

Here are all REST API Power BI support for dashboard.

Dashboards - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

As  lbendlin mentioned before, create a new tile is not supported in Power BI currently.

You can vote up this idea for this function: Microsoft Idea
Or you can submit a new idea to improve the Power BI.
It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

This sounds rather challenging.  You would need to keep track of tile sizes and positioning too. I don't think stuff like that can/should be automated
