Script that automatically downloads objects from Power BI Report Server

Hello,

 

From the UI, I can download Power BI reports, Paginated reports and Datasets. However, I would like to run a script that will download these objects.  Is there such a script or a Power BI API that I can call?

Yes, you can do this using powershell with the Reporting Serveices Tools https://github.com/microsoft/ReportingServicesTools and this pretty much just uses the REST api internally which you could also do yourself if you don't want to use PowerShell see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/rest-api
