There is currently no way to rename a dataset or report via the REST API.

Hi Mike, hi Ali, you are right, there is no method rename so far. I'm also unhappy with lot of missing features in the API. But for Datasets and Dataflows there are update parameter Methods, can you check them? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/updateparameters https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/updatedataflow The docu sais, updating of the parameter "Name" should be possible. For Reports I didn't found a rename capability. Therefore you could update the content, which is missing for the other object tpyes.
