How to automate the process of downloading a PBIX file from the PBI service on a monthly basis

[Puneethj]

Hi, 

Is possible to automate the process of downloading a PBIX file from the Power BI service on a monthly basis. 

In other words " automate the process of downloading a snapshot of your PBIX file from the Power BI service on a monthly basis."

Could anyone help me the steps/tools (FYI: We currently have Azure access) to perform the above or a video tuturial to  perform the above. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Sure you can. Using the PowerBi Rest API you can export reports with size less than 1Gb. You can make it easier using libraries like SimplePBI for python or cmdlets for powershell.

Those will let you write code on a VM or server to schedule a task for that.

I hope that helps,
