Export a report to PDF via APIs on the PowerBI Report Server

[sdafslog]

Hi guys,

I own a PowerBI Server and can upload some .pbix reports and view them in the browser. Now, I need to export them as PDFs automatically and send them out via email. As you know, the PowerBI Server doesn't support the subscription for .pbix report, I'm wondering if there is an API that can be leveraged.

I refer to the document: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/microsoft-rs/PBIRS/2.0#/PowerBIReports/GetPowerBIReport, but honestly, I haven't found one API that can satisfy this requirement. Also, there is another guidance, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to, but it seems that this API only supports PowerBI Service instead of PowerBI Server.
If someone can guide me or share me with some experience, much appreciate it.

No, there are no APIs for this, the pbix rendering service does not exist in the on-prem report server. If you need to email out PDF files you would need to build these reports as paginated reports or host them on the cloud service.
