Hello, I am new to powershell and was working on using Power BI REST APIs. I have no problems with the ones using read permissions, but when it comes to the ones to write (POST), i am getting the following error:
Exception : System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).
at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode()
at Microsoft.PowerBI.Commands.Profile.InvokePowerBIRestMethod.<InvokeRestMethod>d__35.MoveNext() (the error is on the image on top!)
In this case i was using the following for the "update parameter in group" REST API:
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method POST -Body (ConvertTo-Json #body_request)
$body_request = @'
{
"updateDetails":
{
"name": "ServerName",
"newValue": "qa-clean"
}
}
'@
I may be wrong, but I read documentation before which told that administrators can use the Power BI APIs without needing to register an app in azure. Is this fact true?
Thank you for reading:)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try running the same API call in the sandbox.
