Add filter options to the 'Export File' API

The 'Export to file' API endpoint is a great addition to the API, however, I was surprised to see that there is no way of passing in filter/slicer options. Bookmarks can be applied, and are suggested as a workaround - but this isn't suitable for our use case. We want to be able to generate PDF for sending out to multiple users - but need to set filters programatically - bookmarks wont let us do this. Idea: Add Filter Options to the API Request Body - With capabilities similar to the JavaScript embedding API => (Filter Types, Operators, Values, and Conditions). Thanks!

Agreed, please add the functionality of passing parameterised values through to the filters before export.

Sensible suggestion. This would really enhance the offering with added functionality.

Paginated reports have a mechanism for passing in filters, please add something similar for power bi reports.

This is such a mind-numbingly obvious feature that I can't believe it wasn't a Day 1 feature. Here's hoping we get it very soon.

This is a must have feature. The limitations around automated reporting must be improved.

Can we get an ETA on GA for this feature? We have stopped our Power BI adoption due to this limitation.

As others have said, any update on potential go live for this? Unfortunately came across this stumbling block after a day of development

It would be nice to get an idea of the roadmap for the release of this feature
