Automate PBIX Download from WebUI

Hi, is there any way to download pbix files programatic from WebUI?

I can reproduce the download in curl if i copy the download URL and Authorization Bearer Token.

 

Is there a way to generate this Auth Token from a Client APP without accessing the WebUI?

 

Or is there any official API call to download a published pbix?

 

Thanks!

    Hi smintos,

    According to my knowledge, there is no method to generate the Auth Token without accessing Web UI and there is no official API call to download a published PBIX. Regarding to this issue, I would recommend you submit a request in Power BI ideas forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200 .

    Thanks,

      This is just a / our very nasty workaround to get refreshed data into powerbi embedded.

      Regarding refreshing data in powerbi embedded, there are many feature / idea requests already open / scheduled.
