Create streaming dataset from powershell script

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am trying to build a streaming dataset using power shell script. 

On powershell doc there is not this option:
Add-PowerBIDataset (MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data) | Microsoft Docs

On the other hand looks like that it is possible from rest api:
Push Datasets - Datasets PostDataset - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

Not sure if a solution could be to call the rest api from powershell. 
Is there a way to do it using the powershell cmdlet authentication?

Are there Any other sdk that allows it?

For instance:

# User credential

$User = "[email protected]"
$Pword = ConvertTo-SecureString –String 'bL3JZOyTDU' –AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $Pword

# Connect to service
Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -Credential $Credential

Hi @Anonymous,

You can call the Post Dataset API like any other API using PowerShell. It definitely works.

If you want to authenticate using a PowerShell SDK, you can use the module Az.Accounts
Building on your example:

# User credential
$User = "[email protected]"
$Pword = ConvertTo-SecureString –String 'bL3JZOyTDU' –AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $Pword

# Connect to AAD
$AzureProfile = Connect-AzAccount -Credential $Credential

# Get an AccessToken to the Power BI service
$AccessTokenDetails = Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api' -DefaultProfile $AzureProfile

$Headers = @{
    'Authorization' = "Bearer $($AccessTokenDetails.Token)"
}

# Call an API
Invoke-RestMethod -Headers $Headers # Complete the call...

Hi SpartaBi,

using your suggested procedure and appending the rest request, as below, I am getting 403:

# User credential
$User = "[email protected]"
$Pword = ConvertTo-SecureString –String 'bL3JZOyTDU' –AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $Pword

# Connect to AAD
$AzureProfile = Connect-AzAccount -Credential $Credential

# Get an AccessToken to the Power BI service
$AccessTokenDetails = Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api' -DefaultProfile $AzureProfile

$Headers = @{
    'Authorization' = "Bearer $($AccessTokenDetails.Token)"
}

$Url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets?defaultRetentionPolicy=basicFIFO"
$Body = '{
  "name": "SalesMarketing",
  "defaultMode": "Push",
  "tables": [
    {
      "name": "Product",
      "columns": [
        {
          "name": "ProductID",
          "dataType": "Int64"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'
$Body = $Body | ConvertFrom-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Post' -Headers $Headers -Uri $Url -Body $body 
Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Hi @Anonymous,

Your code looks fine except for the way you pass the JSON value. You can use:

# User credential
$User = "[email protected]"
$Pword = ConvertTo-SecureString –String 'bL3JZOyTDU' –AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $Pword

# Connect to AAD
$AzureProfile = Connect-AzAccount -Credential $Credential

# Get an AccessToken to the Power BI service
$AccessTokenDetails = Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api' -DefaultProfile $AzureProfile

$Headers = @{
    'Authorization' = "Bearer $($AccessTokenDetails.Token)"
}

$Url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets?defaultRetentionPolicy=basicFIFO"
$Body = '{
  "name": "SalesMarketing",
  "defaultMode": "Push",
  "tables": [
    {
      "name": "Product",
      "columns": [
        {
          "name": "ProductID",
          "dataType": "Int64"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'

Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Post' -Headers $Headers -Uri $Url -Body $body -ContentType 'application/json'

This worked for me.
