REST API cannot see gateways

[Korlay37]

Hello,

I have some on premise data gateways configured in app.powerbi.com, I have been trying to create an import flow for some users from an app by using only Power bi REST API, however, once the import a report to a group, my app (through REST API) needs to configure stuff like the gateway, refresh and all that. However I tried with all the "get gateways" endpoints I could try in the docs but no matter which one I use I cannot see any of the gateways I have set and I can see on app.powerbi.com. How can I see my gateways and configure them using the REST API?

FROM DATASETS:

• Discover Gateways
• Discover Gateways In Group
• Get Gateway Datasources
• Get Gateway Datasources In Group

FROM GATEWAYS

• Get Gateway
• Get Gateways

Are you admin of any of the gateways? What does the test of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/get-gateways return?

@lbendlin  well I think I am admin although I am not sure if should switch any setting, if I go to app.powerbi.com I do not see anything that seems like needs to be changed in the gateways for me to use them with the REST API.

The thest you mention returns a successful response but the value is an empty array:

That means you are not an admin on any of the gateways.

How do I set my app to be an admin of the gateways, in my app to generate a token I use a tenant id, an app id, an app secret. but withing app.powerbi.com I dont see any setting involving the gateways.

 No idea how that client id/ client secret authentication translates into a user or service principal that could then be added to the gateway admins.

You may need to pivot over to the "as admin"  APIs. Those may not require a user.
