python example for a REST API power bi report server request

[mlospi]

Hello,

please someone has a python example of how using the REST API and interacting with some dashboard inside Power BI Report server?

(I mean write a code to refresh automatically a dashboard or something like that using python outside of POwer BI)

It could work in a internal wnvironment (Virtual machine)?

Thanks

Hi,@mlospi .I am glad to help you.
Even though I'm not very good at python, I want to give you help.

When you use the API to refresh Power BI reports/dashboards. You broadly need to be aware of the following
1. the type of Rest API used.
For Power BI Service and for Power BI report server, the type of api used is different and you need to choose the appropriate api type
2. The use of the API requires the user to hold the corresponding level of license and execution rights.
3. For the api that performs refresh operations, you need to consider the data source access rights (expiration time of the token, periodic updates, etc.).

I've found some articles that present relevant code examples, hopefully they will be helpful to you
