Report views are different in Portal and from the Rest API

[rafal_walisko]

Hello,

I've used powerbi rest api

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/activityevents + &$filter=Activity eq 'viewreport' to obtain all the views from last 30 days.

It worked fine but I see the number of views is different than the number of views in Powerbi Service. Can someone explain why it is?

Same user account ?

[rafal_walisko]

yes, Im checking it as a Powerbi Admin.

I meant the account that is running the commands in the API - I'm presuming you go through an authentication process though

[rafal_walisko]

yes, and it is the same account.

[watts_jim]

Are you refreshing them both at the same time ?

[rafal_walisko]

yes, in the workspace I see above 400 views for one report

Where from the API I got only 2 views event's in last 30 days.

Thats a huge difference.

Hey @rafal_walisko,

I faced the same problem yesterday.

The solution for me was to create a while loop checking whether the continuationUri is Null. If not, then send a get request to the continuationUri and get activityEventEntities.

Please tell me if it helps you.
