Proposal for API Development for Subscription Management in Power BI Service

Dear Microsoft Team,

I am writing to propose the development of an API that enables users to manage subscriptions for Business Intelligence (BI) reports in the Power BI Service.

Overview:

Currently, the process of subscribing to BI reports can be done manually, especially for organizations that require frequent updates and personalized reports for different stakeholders. An API dedicated to subscription management would significantly enhance user experience and streamline report distribution.

Key Benefits:

1. Automation: Allow users to automate the subscription process through API, reducing manual intervention and errors.
2. Customization: Enable users to customize subscription settings (frequency, recipients, report formats) programmatically.
3. Scalability: Support large organizations in managing multiple subscriptions across various reports seamlessly.

Proposed Features:

• Create,schedule,update , and delete subscriptions.
• Manage subscription recipients and preferences.
• Schedule reports to be sent at defined intervals.

Conclusion:

Implementing an API for report subscription management would empower users to leverage Power BI more effectively, ultimately driving better decision-making through timely and relevant data delivery.

I look forward to your thoughts on this potential enhancement to the Power BI Service.

Regards,

Shyam Ganesh
