Overview
This node integrates with the Power BI API, enabling users to interact programmatically with various Power BI resources. Specifically, for the Gateway resource with the List Gateways operation, it retrieves a list of gateways available in the Power BI environment.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating the retrieval of gateway information for monitoring or auditing purposes.
- Integrating gateway data into workflows that require dynamic access to Power BI infrastructure.
- Synchronizing gateway details with other systems or dashboards.
For example, a user might use this node to fetch all gateways and then filter or process them to check their status or configuration as part of an automated reporting workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Method used to authenticate with the Power BI API. Options: OAuth2, Bearer Token. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the list of gateways retrieved from the Power BI API. Each item in the output array corresponds to a gateway object containing its properties as returned by the API.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically represent files or attachments related to gateways, but this node focuses on JSON data only.
Dependencies
- Requires valid authentication credentials for the Power BI API, either via OAuth2 or a Bearer Token.
- The node depends on the Power BI API being accessible and the authenticated user having permissions to list gateways.
- No additional external services are required beyond the Power BI API.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication failures due to invalid or expired tokens.
- Insufficient permissions to list gateways in the Power BI tenant.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Power BI API.
Error messages:
"The resource "gateway" is not supported!"— This indicates an unsupported resource was selected; ensure the resource is set to "Gateway".- API errors returned from Power BI will be propagated; check the error message for details such as permission denied or rate limits.
Resolutions:
- Verify and refresh authentication credentials.
- Confirm the user account has appropriate Power BI permissions.
- Check network settings and proxy configurations if applicable.
