I have some queries about the PowerBI Embedded API, and more so if functionality exists, and if so where can I find it.

In particular, I am looking to find, from the APIs (PowerBI, Embedded or Azure) where I can complete the following functions:

  1. View the number of Rendered Views within a Workspace Collection
  2. Delete a report/import which has been uploaded
  3. Ability to find out how many renders a single report would create - I would find this especially useful given it is billable per render.

Additional functionality I am looking for, is also to be able to save the rendered chart to image or pdf and responsiveness in the dashboards.

I do realise its still in public preview, however, has anyone managed to find the above functionality within the current APIs. Thanks David

  • Only thing I could comment on is number 2: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.powerbi.api.beta.datasets.aspx Under the dataset operations if you delete the dataset it will delete the corresponding uploaded report associated with that dataset – JustLogic Jun 02 '16 at 12:31

  1. View Number of Rendered Views within a Workspace Collection:

    Make a POST request to the following ARM API with Content-Length: 0:

    https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.PowerBI/workspaceCollections/{workspaceCollectionName}/billingUsage?api-version=2016-01-29

  2. Delete import:

    Make a DELETE request to the following Power BI API:

    https://api.powerbi.com/beta/collections/{workspaceCollectionName}/workspaces/{workspaceId}/datasets('{datasetKey}')

  3. There is no API for this yet.

    Consider making the suggestion at https://ideas.powerbi.com/.
