PowerBI API how to get measures of a table
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/
Based on the documentation for getTables:
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/{datasetId}/tables
the measures should be appearing here, but the result only put the table name and nothing else
I have also tried using
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/${groupId}/datasets/${datasetId}/tables/${tableName}/columns
it returns all columns but the measure is not there
so what is actually the way to get the measures using the API?

Using DAX Studio, the DMV MDSCHEMA_MEASURES is set up to return the
measures in the model. There are a number of tools I would turn to Tablular Editor, SSMS,
Measure Killer that have equal or more advantage. Using the API is not my first choice
for documentation. In this example, using DAX Studio, enter the following query:
SELECT
[CATALOG_NAME] as [DATABASE]
, CUBE_NAME AS [CUBE]
,[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] AS [FOLDER]
,[MEASURE_CAPTION] AS [MEASURE NAME]
,[EXPRESSION] AS [MEASURE EXPRESSION]
,[MEASURE_IS_VISIBLE]
FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES
