Report on PBI Service using api.powerbi.com
I need to create a PowerBI report that lets us know who is viewing which PBI reports, how many views to they get a day, which reports are not used etc. I would like to use the PowerBI API as a datasource. I found a good artilce about a month ago, but now I can not find.
If I browse to https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports I get "Access to api.powerbi.com was denied". If I use Web datasource in PBI and try to connect, I get "Access to the resource is forbiden".
I would like to see what data the API exposes and write a report, so we know which reports are being used (usage metrics) and which are not.
Any help appreciated.
