Need REST API for the Folder creation/deletion/find folder id
Hi Team,
The new 'Folder' feature introduced in Power BI is good, but no REST API is available yet to create a folder, delete a folder, find a folder id, etc...
Can you please help prioritize it to get one available?
It would be great, if you could integrate finding folder id at the report level, through Get Reports API, where the reports under the folder should also output the folder id of it.
Thanks
Raghav

Yes. And it could be useful to set the workspace folder when creating items with the API

Yes, the only way to access those data is by "powerbi/metadata/groupmetadata" but this API seems to be accessible by users and not service principals because when i try my access_token it says Forbidden.
I really need to reconstruct the "path" of each my items on my workspace.
I don't understand the preview version permits to do it on the online platform but not via API...
Do you have any idea when it will be release ?
Or maybe juste add the relative path to the items parameters : name="report1.pbix", description="MyReport", path = "folder1/folder2/folder3"

From my point of view, this would be a very useful and multifaceted proposal because, in many cases, we need to organize the workspace into folders, subfolders, and so on. The possibility of doing that from API would simplify the work.

From my side, it is crucial and impact to customer when they want to go to production? There is no API to create folder as well as supporting git (no folder in GIT). We need it soon Otherwise, my customer will back to Synapse. So frustrated so far

This is essential. Customers are getting frustrated

The ability to control folders using the API would be of great help when defining a CI/CD strategy. Without the feature you are forced to make the first release manually to properly place the item in the folder structure.
We were also hoping to use the folders to govern AD group permissions. If we were able to list the reports in folders and the structure in general, we could problematically define the permissions for AD groups that map to folders.
