Your JSON request body should look like this:
{ "updateDetails": [ { "datasourceType": "Sql", "connectionDetails": { "database": "NAME_OF_DATABASE", "server": "NAME_OF_SERVER.database.windows.net" }, "datasourceId": "XYZ123" } ] }For cloud sources like Azure SQL Database, leave this field empty or remove it. The API does not require a gateway for cloud connections.
PowerShell Script:
# Parameters $workspaceId = "YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID" $datasetId = "YOUR_DATASET_ID" $url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$workspaceId/datasets/$datasetId/Default.UpdateDatasources" # Connection Details $ConnectionDetailsObject = @{ updateDetails = @( @{ datasourceType = "Sql" connectionDetails = @{ database = "NAME_OF_DATABASE" server = "NAME_OF_SERVER.database.windows.net" } } ) } # Convert to JSON and Make the API Call Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body ($ConnectionDetailsObject | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10) -ContentType "application/json"If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
