Power BI API - get dataset by ID












1















One of the Power BI APIs is to get dataset by ID. Can someone shed light on the command syntax to get a table of a dataset from a workspace please? Thank you.



GET https://api.powerbi.com/groups/{workspace ID}/datasets/{dataset ID}/{TableName} ?

          If you are looking for a way to get table's schema (list of columns), currently the API does not provide a way to do this. Probably the presumption is that this dataset is created using the API, so you should know what you created. If you want to get a list of tables in a dataset, you can use https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}/tables like this:



              private void GetDatasetById(string accessToken, string groupId, string datasetId)
          {
          string powerBIDatasetsApiUrl = $"https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}/tables";

          var request = WebRequest.Create(powerBIDatasetsApiUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
          request.KeepAlive = true;
          request.Method = "GET";
          request.ContentLength = 0;
          request.ContentType = "application/json";
          request.Headers.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {accessToken}");
          using (HttpWebResponse httpResponse = request.GetResponse() as System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
          {
          using (StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
          {
          MessageBox.Show(reader.ReadToEnd());
          }
          }
          }

            I don't think you can do this. Possibly you can get the data source and read the data directly from there. Or embed a tile with a table in your site.
