Power BI Admin API - Get Datasets

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to get the datasourceUsages info when calling the Power BI Admin apis? Using either Datasets GetDatasetsAsAdmin  or Groups GetGroupsAsAdmin  expanded with datasets. The documentation refers to a DatasoureUsage array but the api does not return any

Hi @ginoroy ,

 

How did you connect to the Rest API, PowerShell or web connector?

Please show your M code in 'Edit Query' or the shell code.

Please refer to the code.

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount

$Workspace = Get-PowerBIWorkspace -All

ForEach($Workspace in $Workspace)
{
    $Url = 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/'+ $Workspace.Id + '/datasets'
    Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $Url -Method Get
 }

Disconnect-PowerBIServiceAccount

Hi @v-lionel-msft ,

 

I am also trying to achieve the same automation, however, this requires a user interaction to login. MFA is enabled for our tenant. and service principal with client id and client secret are unable to return Admin API. Is there a way around this? To be able to automate the process? Many Thanks
