Hello.
I am currently in the research process of developing a system for my client to ship reports to customers.
I've close to no knowledge about Power BI. Which leads me to my explanation and question(s) 😄
I am considering doing the following:
Creating reports in Power BI for the client's benefit so management can use these in the web app i've developed. Using the embedded functionality that powerbi provides - which i've pretty much understood is solid and works fine.
But my client is also going to do a per customer PDF export of this report. So my thought was to utilize the Power BI API:
I read the documentation for the PowerBI API and i've understand that you can do Export to file(pdf), then poll to see if it is ready for download and finally get the filestream. However, i fail to see any way to make this kind of request using any sort of parameter other than the "reportId" which i assume is the actual id of the report. However I've found the PaginatedReportExportConfiguration in the docs which can contain a set of "ParameterValue". Is this the way to solve this? I like looking at examples and i have not found any so any example sourcecode would be more than welcome 😄
Am i correct in assuming i would be able to do a request to the Power BI API for a "Export Report as PDF File where customerid="1001" or whatever other parameter i want?
Or is this an impossible scenario?
Also, what sort of Power BI/Azure licenses,services and subscriptions would this required?
