PowerBI Rest API health status?

[chstead]

We have a wrapper service written in C#, which is experiencing timeouts from the PowerBI Rest API on operations which should be instant (delete). Is there somewhere I can look at the health of the REST API?

Is there any way to get better information than just the error code? A 500 doesn't say much about what is wrong...

HI @chstead,

Nope, you can only get its status by http response message and error code.

That doesn't really answer if the service is healthy, since it was timing out. Theres no way to tell if the service is up? Are we supposed to assume that all long responses mean the service is unhealthy? 

Are you able to say whether there was an outage then?
