Advocate IVPower BI Rest API documentation "Try it" option gone
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.

Solution SageI know this is not the best solution and I also want the "Try it" button back. Just wanted to ensure you know Postman also is on web, and no client install is necessary. Can run it directly in browser.
On my work Computer Postman is not allowed, but the web version works like a charm.
The whole Power BI REST API library is also available to import into Postman. You can then save all your scripts and use it when necessary.

Advocate IVThank you for the advice on Postman. Is there a handy way to deal with the authentication piece in postman? One of the nice things with the "Try it" option is you just logged in and it worked. Everything I've seen on using the Power BI api in postman involves hard-coding usernames/passwords and copy/pasting expiring keys as part of the query.
