Hi Power BI Community,
Background: I have been tasked with coming up with an automated smoke test to ensure that all Visuals function without failure, post updates to a centralised data source / model.
Scenario: A field has been renamed and the model re-loaded, which causes a generic error to be presented on the report UI: "X Can't display the visual. See details... Couldn't load the data for this visual"
Objective: Without running some sort of UI automation (e.g. Selenium), is there a way for this error to be captured via the Rest API or some other method?
I have tried hitting a number of the API endpoints to see if some sort of failure occurs, but no luck so far - these being:
.../datasets/.../datasources
.../reports/.../pages/ReportSection
From the Rest API documentation I don’t see any way of interacting with the actual Visuals for a given report and page.
Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @AE_JHI ,
Unfortunately, the current version cannot realize this idea. Please submit your idea.

As you can see in Power BI REST APIs , I think you can only export the data from the visuals, not the error message of the visuals.
Best Regards,
