Bumped into this today and finally found the answer. For embedding reports, the "zero-guid" described by DaanD might work, but for querying semantic models it doesn't.

1. Monitor network requests in your browser using browser devtools (F12 or Fn+F12)
1. Go to your workspace at https://msit.powerbi.com/groups/me/list?experience=power-bi

1. Filter for the `groupmetadata` Fetch/XHR request

1. Your workspace ID is the `folderObjectId` query parameter in the request

Note that some APIs don't work with this workspace, e.g. https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/2b...d1 gives an error:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "GroupNotAccessible",
    "message": "Calling group APIs not permitted for personal workspace"
  }
}

If your report is in My workspace, then the workspace ID is 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. Source: Embed a Power BI report in a model-driven app main form - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

In an extremely unhelpful move MS have updated app.powerbi and the worksapce id no longer appears in the URL. I can't empahsise enough how unhelpful this move is for us.

When you click on https://app.powerbi.com/  and click on your workspace, it opens up your workspace and you're then taken to your workspace through a url which looks like: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/1234/list. Your GUID is all the characters betweens the two slashes after the word 'groups' and before the word 'list'.
For the example url I've shown here, the GUID is 1234.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to embed a report in a react-based application. When I make changes to the desktop and publish it always creates a new report without replacing the one I used in react app.

Any lead will be appreciated,

Hi @sai2,

GroupId in the Rest call is not required, if you use the end point , https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/dashboards, you will get all of the Dashboards from 'My Workspace'

some MS Sample Code Below

 static Dashboards GetDashboards()
 {
 Dashboards response = null;
 //In a production application, use more specific exception handling.
 try
 {
 //Create a GET web request to list all datasets
 HttpWebRequest request = DatasetRequest("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/dashboards", "GET", AccessToken());

 //Get HttpWebResponse from GET request
 string responseContent = GetResponse(request);

 JavaScriptSerializer json = new JavaScriptSerializer();
 response = (Dashboards)json.Deserialize(responseContent, typeof(Dashboards));
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
 }
 return response;
 }

There's no GUID for My Workspace. You can directly import the objects in your "my workspace" withouting giving any GUID. For more details, see Power BI REST API document: Import operations

This is my code and we definitely need GUID (group id ) to get into my workspace,so what can i do now to get GUID of my workspace?

@sai2

You will find the Group ID in the URL.

When you click to open the workspace, the URL will look something like this:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/1903140f-c1d3-4c09-8dad-04ec6a9d0245/reportname

The text highlighted in bold is the GroupID.
