Power bi REST API for datasets to add rows

Hello ,

 

I have power bi Pro , I am following all documentation to GET /POST /PUT method for datasets and reports in groups. 

I can embedded reports succesfully in my App using power bi API . And even I am getting datasets ids.

 POWER BI REST API 

Q: How to add rows in dataset in Group? ( I have documentation link 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/pushdatasets/datasets_postrowsingroup -  but before rows i need tables)

 

Now , I am trying to GET tables ,following below documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/pushdatasets/datasets_gettablesingroup

But , not getting tables.

Then I read in solution that we need to create dataset in app , then only we can create tables and add row in it . I tried this option too , but still not getting succes yet . 

This is my code : 

// for specific dataset with POST method(to crate dataset)
app.get("/dataset", [ensureAuthenticated, generatePBIAccessToken], function (req, res) {
    var data = req.query;
    data.user = req.user;
    var options = {
        method: 'POST',
        url: 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/' + app.locals.POWERBI_GROUP + '/datasets' ,
        headers: {
            'cache-control': 'no-cache',
            'authorization': 'Bearer ' + req.session.access_token,
            'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
            'accepts': 'application/json',
            'charset': 'utf - 8',
            'request': 'System.Net.WebRequest.Create(powerBIDatasetsApiUrl) as System.Net.HttpWebRequest'
        },
        form: {
            "accessLevel": "View",
            "datasetId": req.query.datasetid,
            "allowSaveAs": true
        },
       body: {
           "name": "SalesMarketing",
           "defaultMode": "Push",
           "tables": [
               {
                   "name": "Product",
                   "columns": [
                       {
                           "name": "ProductID",
                           "dataType": "Int64"
                       },
                       {
                           "name": "Name",
                           "dataType": "string"
                       },
                       {
                           "name": "Category",
                           "dataType": "string"
                       },
                       {
                           "name": "IsCompete",
                           "dataType": "bool"
                       },
                       {
                           "name": "ManufacturedOn",
                           "dataType": "DateTime"
                       }
                   ]
               }
           ]
        } 
    };

    console.log("************************************ for datasetkeys");
    console.log(options);
    
    console.log("To create dataset  specific dataset with POST method");
    
    console.log("************************************");
    request(options, function (error, response, body) {
        if (error) throw new Error(error);
        data.embed = JSON.parse(body);
        res.render('pbi-dataset', data);
        
    });
});
