Power BI REST API - new limit 50 requests per hour for one request

[SzymonK]

Hello,

I've been using Power BI REST API for over half a year. There are limits of 200 requests per hour for some requests.

But last week something has changed for "GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/datasets/{datasetId}/datasources" and now there is limit 50 reqeuest per hour. Could you please make it consistent with other requests and set limitation to 200 requests per hour? 

There is no word about limitations in documentation:

Admin - Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

I've build solution which use consistent limit of 200 requests per hour and trigger it every hour to get all data, but now I should rebuild it with this new limit of 50 requests per hour for this one request...

Hi  @SzymonK ,

Thanks for the feedback, but this doesn't seem to be the right place to give feedback on this problem.

If you would like to suggest feature improvements, you may  vote the idea and comment here  o improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Hi @Anonymous,

But for me it is not an improvement. I was using it for over half year and it was working very well, so it is not something new.

It suddenly stopped working properly last week and I had to investigate where the problem is. 

There is no word about limitation in documentation:

Admin - Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

For comparison other request where the limitation is and it is in documentation:

Admin - Datasets GetDatasetUsersAsAdmin - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Hi, I can confirm that this is a major issue in my team's workflow. We weren't even warned of this change and it does not appear in the documentation. As a matter of fact, this thread is all that exists as documentation of it.

Could you provide an equivalent alternative to work with ? Thanks in advance

Hi @SzymonK ,

Product Group informs they are aware this new limit is affecting users and their actual implementations, for this reason they share this workaround in the meantime a solution is applied about the new throttling limit:

“While we work on refining the throttling limits for the GetDatasourcesAsAdmin API, we understand the importance of providing viable alternatives for our users. As a temporary workaround, we recommend leveraging our scanner APIs to access all data source information for your tenant. The scanner APIs offer a robust solution for retrieving datasets and related data source information.

For more information, please refer “-
