Export report to file with rest api, which capacity SKU needed?

[Eric7]

Hi, to export a Power BI report to file using the Power BI Service rest api, can we use capacity Embedded A3, or do we need A4? I know I read in an article a year ago that this requires A4, but this link only states that a Premium capacity is required: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#license-requirements

Is such report export possible with Fabric F32?

Hi. The doc you just send specify it just needs dedicated capacity.

• The report you're exporting must reside in a workspace backed by a Premium, Embedded, or Fabric capacity.

That means PPU won't work, but any A#, P# or F# should work.

I hope that helps,

Ok thanks. I see now that it is Paginated reports that require capacity A4 for export to file

I can confirm from personal experience that it works even with the smallest Fabric SKU, an F2.

However, the exportToFile operation used a shocking amount of Consumption Units, so be judicious if you have a small capacity.
