REST API Dataflow Upstream Dataflows Not Working

I have dataflows that reference other dataflows. I am building out a data lineage tool, but the REST API Dataflows - Get Upstream Dataflows In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Lea... does not return any results. All I ever get is 

{
  "@odata.context": "http://wabi-us-north-central-e-primary-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/myorg/groups/#########/$metadata#upstreamDataflows",
  "value": []
}

This is regardless of if the dataflows reside inthe same or different workspace. Has anyone gotten this to work? 

 

The dataflow-dataflow lineage is never shown in the Power BI service either.

 

Thanks

I'm having the same issue.  Calling Get Upstream Dataflows in Group referencing a Dataflow that I know has a connection to another dataflow returns 'value[]'.   This API Call is not working.  What is the resolution??

 

Using this method in Python:

result = requests.get('https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/' + {groupId} + '/dataflows/'  + {dataflowId} + '/upstreamDataflows')
print(result.content.value)
Empty
[]
