Power BI API Rest to publish specific subfolder - get UUID subfolder

[cazcon]

Currently Power BI have a API to publish to particular worskpaces

Imports - Post Import - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Currently, Power BI has an API to publish to specific workspaces. And it is also defined to publish to a subfolder, but the problem is that the UUID of the subfolder is required.
As far as I could investigate, there is no API to return the UUID of a subfolder. The URL gives you an ID, but it is not in UUID format.

Hello!

Is there a method to create a subfolder within a specific workspace using the Power BI REST API?

Hi,@cazcon 

I am glad to help you.  

According to your description, you want to use Power BI API Rest to publish specific subfolder?

If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution. 

Based on your description, it is recommended that you try changing the subfolderObjectId in the Post URL to the subfolderId on the Power BI Service address bar.

POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/imports?datasetDisplayName={datasetDisplayName}&nameConflict={nameConflict}&skipReport={skipReport}&overrideReportLabel={overrideReportLabel}&overrideModelLabel={overrideModelLabel}&subfolderId={subfolderId}

I hope this advice is helpful.

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
