[asoni24]

Hi team,

I want to publish the .pbix file in powerbi server automativally, that is i dont want to go through the Powerbi desktop and publish to powerbi server.

I have a git repository where all my reports (.pbix file) are present , i want whenever i will be commiting a file to git repo, it should be publish automatically in the powerbi server.

Is there any method available to do this Or anyone wants more info over this???

thanx in advance

@asoni24 Consider Power BI REST Api. Here is the article to get started. You can automate number of tasks using APIs.

hi @ankitpatira

I feel my requirement can naot be fulfilled by Power BI rest api.

My requirement is to publish powerbi file into power bi server without help of powerbi desktop. I want to invoke a script that it should take a powerbi file and publish to powerbi server. i will give username and password and path to the powerbi server in the same script. Is there any way to do this??

Is the rest api help in achieving this?? If So how???

I misunderstood your question. I don't think it is possible currently to publish power bi files without opening it in desktop. You can submit a ticket for that under Ideas section. Using Power BI REST API you can do other tasks but not publish.

Power BI Embedded is other alternative but that lets you publish to Power BI workspace in Azure programmatically. You can check that out and see if you can go down that path.
