How to fetch usage metric details through Power BI REST API

Hi,

 

Is there any way to fetch the Usage Metric Report Value through REST API. Like I want to fetch the report open value, last access date etc using API. Please let me know if there is any API to fetch its value.

Hi 

Yes there is a rest API to fetch this data Admin - Get Activity Events - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

You will only be able to request a single day at a time and only 30 days history is available, so you will need to build another injection process to handle this. 

If you are looking for an easy to implement process there is an open-source project that you can use RuiRomano/pbimonitor (github.com)

Can you please suggest a way to fetch the count of views, unique viewers. Can you suggest any specific api's if available.

We seem to be able to get report views, but not specifics about what page the view is on. Anyone have an idea where we can get that level of detail through the API?

But this API call will only return the report name, not the page of the report. However, the usage reports in Power BI service do show this information, so it seems it does exist?
