Power BI Desktop APIs

[PeterL33]

Are there APIs for Power BI Desktop that I can access to check when a report is done rendering? I found this API but it sounds like it is for the Power BI Online service but I can't tell for sure.

Maybe. I am using Autoit to automate tasks in Power BI Desktop and I want to time them. Those rendering events in Power BI sound like they might be exactly what I need but I am unsure of how to access them. Can I access the API from autoit or could I even just use DAX to trigger a message box or something when the render finish event triggers?

Hi, @PeterL33 

Sorry, AFAIK, there is currently no such function in powerbi to meet your needs.
