PowerShell Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Method POST -Body workspaces getinfo

Hello,

 

Just after some assistance with the Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod PowerShell command as I'm trying replicate this with the URI parameters as per link:

 

Admin - WorkspaceInfo PostWorkspaceInfo - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

 

So the command I have as follows:

 

$body = '{"workspaces": ["workspaceID"
,"workspaceID"]}'

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/getInfo?lineage=True&datasourceDetails=True&data...' -Method POST -Body $body

 

This sucessfully gives me a scan ID to obtain a scan result, which I then run as:

 

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/workspaces/scanResult/{scanID}' -Method GET | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File C:\Temp\WorkSpace_OutPut.json

 

This sucessfully output's the json file however when I view the contents I'm missing the following data as shown:

Missing "reports"

"dashboards"

"datasets"

etc.

 

This is what I'm after from Admin - WorkspaceInfo GetScanResult - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs as shown:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi @richoking 

Could it be that something is missing the in API call?

 

I have used the following Power Automate flow which has worked well for me.
