Retrieving column descriptions from dataflow Gen1
Hello,
For a project, I'm looking for retrieving column descriptions from dataflow using REST API as Admin: name, type, M code definition.
Does it exist a solution without exporting each dataflow 1 by 1 without ExportDataflowAsAdmin?
Thx
That's ok, I found my happiness by calling the Get Dataflow (non admin) API.
I must first extract all the dataflow/workspace pairs from my tenant and then call the API as many times as there are pairs. What I need is in the json file, in the description field as unstructured data (=text)
Thx

Define "solution" ? Does a "connect to the dataflow and keep top 0 rows" count?
Usually these things are collected via auditing processes.
