Power BI Usage Dashboard - Rest API

Hello,

 

So, I've been tasked with creating a Power BI Usage report to track dashboard usage, performance, failures, etc of our reports and datasets on Power BI Service. I am not an admin of the PBI, and I don't have admin access to run PowerShell and store things to the C: drive.

 

With that said, I've read some articles from Jeff Pries and others on the PBI Rest API and using PowerShell or C# to complete this, then using SSIS to pick up files from a local folder in some form.

 

My question is this: Is this still the best method for 2022, and if so, does anyone have any resources that would help me to get started on this project knowing the above information about non-admin privileges? I'd like to get this stood up as soon as possible but am really not sure on the best path as there are many out there but none of them talk about how to set things up as non-admin.
