I need to know the refresh times currently set on all our reports (in all apps) across the organisation as we are being throttled by microsoft
I saw on another similar question someone mentioned using the the following API call: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/getrefreshhistoryingroup
However, when I put in my groupId and datasetId (taken from the URL of the report, in the workspace) I just get the following error:
{
"error": {
"code": "ItemNotFound",
"message": "Dataset [datasetId] is not found."
}
}
Any tips on using the API and also automating this to get a report on refresh times?

Hi @Anonymous ,
You need to open the dataset and then take the workspaceId and datasetId from the URL.

@Icey Any idea how I can make a Power BI dashboard on top of this? We have over 70 reports refreshing about 120 times per day so I would like to monitor the refresh times on a daily basis and make changes where necessary.
We organise our reports via 10-12 apps, each app has 5-10 power BI reports inside with varying refresh schedules
