Guide on using Python to retrieve workspace data from Power BI APIs, including authentication, retrieving workspaces, artifacts, and user roles.
How to Set Up
Requires setting up a Service Principal with appropriate permissions. Detailed setup instructions including authentication are available in a separate post.
Python Implementation

- Making GET requests to Power BI Admin API
- Handling JSON responses and converting to pandas DataFrames
Key code components:
- Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret configuration
- API endpoint: https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/groups?$top=5000
- Error handling for authentication and API responses
- Result processing with pandas for workspace data
Note: Code is designed for Google Colab Notebook and includes recommendations for Azure Key Vault integration for production use.
Capabilities
- Get all workspaces accessible to a user or service principal
- Retrieve artifacts within workspaces (datasets, reports, dataflows)
- Identify users with roles in specific workspaces
