Introducing the Power BI Activity Log

Hi Anonymous ,

We think we need to provide a valid Authorization Bearer (Azure Access Token) to call this api, please try it in this document, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/getactivityevents#code-try-0, you can see that it will generate  a authorization bearer and pass it with the api.

Best regards,

To distinguish the Power BI-specific log from the unified audit log, Power BI chose the name activity log, but the Power BI auditing data within both logs are identical. In this way, global admins and auditors can continue to use the Security and Compliance Centers for all their auditing needs, while Power BI service admins now have a straightforward way to access and download the data they need to monitor the actions of their users and administrators in their Power BI tenant. You could call the activity log an audit log as well, but different names help to avoid confusion.

So, what can you do with the Power BI Pro activity log? For starters, you can write an administrative application based on the Power BI REST APIs to export the activity events into a blob store or SQL database so that you can build a custom usage report on top of the exported data. In the ActivityEvents REST API call, you must specify a start date and end date and optionally a filter to select activities by activity type or user id.

Because the activity log may possibly contain a large amount of data, the ActivityEvents API currently only supports downloading up to one day of data per request. In other words, the start date and end date must specify the same day.

I hope this helps!
