Swagger URL for PBI Report Server

I am trying to generate a client in C# from the Swagger resful API on Power BI Report Server. In Visual Studio 2017 there is a feature where you can generate a client proxy from the Solution explorer...

    If you just want the JSON file you can get it from SwaggerHub here:

     

    https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/microsoft-rs/PBIRS/2.0

     

    In the top right you'll see an arrow pointing down, click that and you should see and option to download the JSON. I just noticed that there were some codegen customisations that we missed for PBIRS but added for SSRS which may be why your getting compilation errors, I just added them in I'll try it on my end to make sure it works. However if you still want to try the editor let me know if you see any issues.

Youre right, it compiles in VS 2017. And running build.bat outputs the bin directory with some dlls. I guess I can use them even if there are lots of warnings. Do I need to use all of the dlls or just IO.Swagger.dll?

Hi Martin

 

Could you successful use the generated API Client from Swagger HUB? Did you find source code examples for C# how to use the client? 

 

I read the readme.md, could compile the "csharp-client-generated" Project (had to fixe some things there) but now I have no idea how to use the IO.Swagger and connect my PBI Report Server.
