Admin - Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin request limit

    Hi all,
    I got a reply from Microsoft about the issue:

     

    We have confirmation about a new throttling limit on this specific API call to 50 calls per hour.

     

    Product Group informs they are aware this new limit is affecting users and their actual implementations, for this reason they share this workaround in the meantime a solution is applied about the new throttling limit:

     

    “While we work on refining the throttling limits for the GetDatasourcesAsAdmin API, we understand the importance of providing viable alternatives for our users. As a temporary workaround, we recommend leveraging our scanner APIs to access all data source information for your tenant. The scanner APIs offer a robust solution for retrieving datasets and related data source information.

    For more information, please refer “-

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/workspace-info-get-scan-result

     

    I hope they align the final throttling limit with GetXXXUsersAsAdmin APIs (200 calls per hour) so that with have consistency with our scripts. Or that they implement an API that return all datasources of all semantic models of the tenant in a single call.

     

    Using scanner API is more involved (asynchronous calls, complex Json result) requiring a longer implementation.

     

    Best regards,

    Frederick

    Is the old limit back? Today I was able to get all datasources as before end of January (via Datasets GetDatasourcesAsAdmin) .... 

    Anyone has similar experience?
