Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod - https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/getInfo

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the PowerBI Scanner API, according to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmTklTT73gE

 

So, I'm able to call "GET-PowerBIWorkspace" and I'm getting workspaces where I have access as a response. 

If I try to use the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod with the Workspace ID as Body, I recieve a Not Authorized Response, which doesn't make sense since I have all needed permissions. Any Ideas?

 

Used Code:

Login-PowerBIServiceAccount -ServicePrincipal -Credential (Get-Credential) -Tenant ******

GET-PowerBIWorkspace

$body = 
'{
    "workspaces": [
    "****"
    ]
}'

$url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/getInfo"
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body | ConvertFrom-Json

Result: 

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : Mindestens ein Fehler ist aufgetreten.
In Zeile:16 Zeichen:1
+ Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body | Convert ...

}

good - fix that issue and then you can continue with the implementation.

Hi thanks, but I didn't find a way to use the Rest Call in the sanbox. Do you know how I can try that?

I can't login with my Service-Principal on that, only with my personal account and that one doesn't have enough rights.

does it work in the REST API sandbox?
