Response from Power BI REST API for refreshes

Hello everyone,

 

I want to get RequestId or RefreshId whenever I trigger the Power BI REST API to refresh the dataset. I am using Power Automate to achieve this. What I observed is that the RequestId when we trigger the API and RequestId when the refresh starts, both are different and hence I am not able to get the correct RefreshId to check the history of the triggered API call.

 

Has anyone worked with it? Please share your guidance.

Thank you!

Hi @rajulshah,

Perhaps you can try to use activity events or get refresh history API to get these operation history logs, then you can filter on these results to find out the correspond records and id.

Admin - Get Activity Events - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Datasets - Get Refresh History - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

I want to use the RequestId that is returned in response when calling the REST API to get the refresh history.
