Hey guys,
I need to create a report in PowerBI. Is there any possibility to create a report with an existing dataset in PowerBI using REST API?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Amulya_A ,
You can get datasets through data sources through the REST API, but you can't get existing datasets on Power BI through the Rest API.

You can also go directly to the workspace of the Power BI Service and click New – Report.
Pcik a published dataset
Refer to:
Connect to datasets in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
