Unlocking Power BI REST API: Exploring amazing requests with Python
On this session we are talking about amazing requests we can find at Power Bi Rest API. We are going to write some code in order to discover how to effortlessly make powerful requests using Python.
It also includes registering app in azure in order to get started using it. Some of the amazing requests I might pick to show:
- exporting and importing reports (migration purpose)
- pause/resume capacity (embedded, AAS and fabric)
- activity events
- admin get groups
- scanner api
- refresh dataset/dataflow
- get orphan dataflows
- get user artifact access
- etc
Getting started with Power BI Rest API with Python
This session will show an intro to APIs and specially the Power Bi Rest API doc, showing the API categories that you can request. Registering an app on azure and almost all the session will be coding python to authenticate and make some requests using a non oficial python library that has the requests of the Rest API and more.
