Advocate IVPower BI Rest API documentation "Try it" option gone
I have loved the "Try it" button on the Power BI Rest API documentation pages. It's handy for doing a small tasks quickly without writing authorization calls and getting tokens. I used it the afternoon of 4/6 and it worked great. The button disappeared by the afternoon of 4/7.
Will this feature be returning or replaced with a similar option?
Hi AMD0791 ,
It's a new production Issue added in Power BI Known Issue list.
"Try it" button is missing on every pages in PBI REST API. This is caused due to internal regression. The documentation team is aware of this and working on the fix. No ETA for the fix at this moment.
Workaround:
User are advised to try the APIs using any external API testing tools. For example : PostmanI will give you feedback as soon as there are any updates.

Same here...noticed this morning that the button had disappeared. I even raised a ticket to Microsoft questioning about this button, as this option is still active on other APIs
I have not seen the feature on any of the APIs I have chosen thus far. Hoping the issue is resolved soon. Thank you Karina_Vieira for opening the issue with Microsoft.

Its more than a month Tryit option is disabled in the Documentation. Which is frustrating, the solution which works as expected & now it breaks . And now we are going to get excuses for the workarounds.
Please let us know if this can be resolved or this option will be disabled going forward

Hi
Any updates on this? I do not have access to external API testing tools like Postman. I have just been building an admin report and testing admin APIs.
Any updates appreciated thanks
