To retrieve ReportId and DatasetId with other tile details while fetching data from Power BI API

[Sakshi]

Is there a way to fetch ReportId and DatasetId as well from API while fetching tiles data using 'GetTilesInGroupAsyn' method defined in Microsoft.PowerBI.Api.V2 namespace.

Required to be accessible for app generated for non-Power BI Users(i.e. using app owns data).

The returned JSON for Get Tiles API would give the reportId and the DatasetId:

Check the API reference:

Get Tiles

The corresponding Tile data is stored under the ODataResponseListTile.Value property, which should be a Tile list.

For the Tile class, see:

Tile class

For example, to get the first tile ReportId:

using Microsoft.PowerBI.Api.V2; 
using Microsoft.PowerBI.Api.V2.Models;
// To retrieve the tile, you first need to retrieve the dashboard. 
// You will need to provide the GroupID where the dashboard resides. 

ODataResponseListDashboard dashboards = client.Dashboards.GetDashboardsInGroup(GroupId); 

// Get the first report in the group. 

Dashboard dashboard = dashboards.Value.FirstOrDefault(); 

// Get a list of tiles from a specific dashboard 

ODataResponseListTile tiles = client.Dashboards.GetTilesInGroup(GroupId, dashboard.Id); 

// Get the first tile in the group. 

Tile tile = tiles.Value.FirstOrDefault();

//Get the first tile ReportId

string rptId = tile.ReportId
or
string rptId = tiles.Value[0].ReportId

Hi @v-micsh-msft

Thanks for the reply.

I am using the same approach but Tile class does not have ReportId and DatasetId properties in API version 2.0.2. See screenshot attached.

  

I am not sure but I think this version of API does not return these properties. Let me know if this is the case which API version should I use which will suffice all my needs or still am I missing something?

Could anyone suggest on this?

API version 2.0.11 resolved my issue. Thanks
