I have some queries about the PowerBI Embedded API, and more so if functionality exists, and if so where can I find it.
In particular, I am looking to find, from the APIs (PowerBI, Embedded or Azure) where I can complete the following functions:
View the number of Rendered Views within a Workspace Collection
Delete a report/import which has been uploaded
Ability to find out how many renders a single report would create - I would find this especially useful given it is billable per render.
Additional functionality I am looking for, is also to be able to save the rendered chart to image or pdf and responsiveness in the dashboards.
I do realise its still in public preview, however, has anyone managed to find the above functionality within the current APIs.
Thanks
David
View Number of Rendered Views within a Workspace Collection:
Make a POST request to the following ARM API with Content-Length: 0:
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.PowerBI/workspaceCollections/{workspaceCollectionName}/billingUsage?api-version=2016-01-29
Delete import:
Make a DELETE request to the following Power BI API:
https://api.powerbi.com/beta/collections/{workspaceCollectionName}/workspaces/{workspaceId}/datasets('{datasetKey}')
There is no API for this yet.
Consider making the suggestion at https://ideas.powerbi.com/.

The SharePoint API to GET a list, shows the boolean property 'NoCrawl' in its response. This property can be set by altering the settings for the Search availability and Offline access through the settings.
GET https://{site_url}/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('List Title')
However the Graph API counterpart doesn't have this property.
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/
Update - Seems there is no way right now other than using the old SharePoint API itself. I'll keep the question open if in case the feature in inculcated.
As Shiva updated there is no such property called NoCrawl as of now in the public document and any relationship for expanding even in beta. Being said that I remember a related thread which works in SharePoint online rest api, which you may want to give a try with Microsoft Graph and see if it helps your scenario.
Goodday!
I've got a library full of documents. I would like to be able to know some more about these documents without reading through all of them. On the first page of each document I already put some relevant information about the document such as year of creation, author, number of pages and confidentiality.
I want to use some AI to browse through these documents and decide which is what and return it to me so I can store it in a CSV or something. This way I'll be able to easily find the right document.
Now, I did use LUIS and some of the TAA service of Azure's cognitive services before. But I cannot figure out a way how to accomplish this.
Is it theoretically possible to send the first page (using a powershell script to cut the rest of the document and send it through) to LUIS, which can then return the entities? I'd like them in a way: Date of creation: 18/10/2018, pages: 100.
Or is there a better way to use Azure's powerfull AI to get this done?
Is there any way we could share/unshare a file or folder with users (external or internal) through REST API?
I am unable to find proper documentation for this. The only information out there is for update, delete, create, download, upload, and read operations!
I have come across some posts which indicate that it's possible to update the fields for a listitem. I was wondering if I could achieve sharing/unsharing through that?
If not sharing then at least unsharing(remove sharing details which ultimately unshares the item). Can unsharing be achieved through this?
I asked a colleague who is more familiar with the Files API than I am, and he said no file sharing properties are exposed via the Files API for Office 365 - so it looks like it's not possible at this point with that API. You could file a request to add that functionality via User Voice feedback page.
I have a list in sharepoint which maintains particular month OnCall list,and we are maintaining employee directory in sql server. My requirement is to get complete data from sql server and show it in sharepoint and compare with sharepoint list and show small icon for the employees who are On Call for that particular Month. Can anyone please suggest me the waus of implementing this.
Thanks in advance.
Update: I have finished the part where I have to connect to the sqlserver database and get the employees information. For this we are using 3rd party web part to connect to the sql server and pull the data from the table. Now I have to show some kind of image on the employee name to show that he is on-call for that week. We are going to cretae custom list for maintaing the list of people who are on-Call. Can anyone please advise me on how to accomplish this.
Write a custom webpart which will pull the data from the list using sharepoint object model and SQL server using ADO.NET and do the said comparison.
If you were looking for out of the box, I am afraid there i too little information given here to analyze if its feasible out of the box or not.
If you have the SharePoint Enterprise version, you can look at using the Business Data Catalog. This will let you bind columns to external data sources. This might provide you with the functionality you're looking for.
If you do not have the Enterprise features, do you have access to deploy WSP packages and custom code?
You will have to write your own data access to your external data source. Your options would be to have a job that pulls data from the external data source and populates SharePoint list(s) or create a custom view that pulls the external data on-demand.
You'll have to come up with synchronization strategies. Meaning, is the data in the external SQL data source static, reference information that does not need to be updated depending on what a user does in SharePoint? This seems to be the case based on your question. If you do need to update the external data source, you'll have to hook into the on save event (so probably a custom event handler that listens for ItemAdding) to update the data, validate, and optionally cancel the operation with an error message.
If you can't deploy WSP packages / DLLs, you could take a look at the jQuery SharePoint library. This will let you interact with lists using jQuery. If you also write a WCF or Web Service wrapper around the data you need access to from your external data source that is accessible from the SharePoint environment, you can use hack together a solution.
To accomplish this you'd need to place a Content Editor Web Part on the page you need custom data access. In there you will write the code to reference the jQuery javascript library and jQuery SharePoint library. The code will have to make the calls to your external data service and make any updates you need.
This is the least reliable method to accomplish what you want since it's entirely page-based and can be broken by simply disabling script or someone editing the CEWP or removing it altogether.
If you don't have access to place a CEWP or any of the other solutions, then you have no options at all.
it relatively easy now to pull all the data using the third party webpart and saving it into a custom list. I would recommend you not only creating custom list but also creating the content types for this list. take a look at SharPoint MVP's post about creating a Custom List with Content Types
I've built a web part for Sharepoint that retrieves data from an external service. I'd like to display the items in a way that's UI-compatible with Sharepoint (fits in with its surroundings.)
I'm aware of the "DataFormWebPart" but was unable to get one working properly. It requires a valid DataSource and I was unable to build one from the results of a web service call... Part of the problem is that my web service wrappers don't expose the XML return info, rather I have a bunch of deserialized objects. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to turn actual objects into a datasource, or populate a "generic" datasource from object data.
I could use an SPGridView to get the same UI, but the grid control doesn't have much in the way of smarts -and- it forces every field into its own column. I'd prefer to render each list item as a single cell with complex rendering (for instance the way that StackOverflow shows its lists of questions.) I'd also like to get as much of the Sharepoint-standard UI as possible, such as the sorting, filtering, and paging controls.
So, first: Has anyone here written a Sharepoint control that does this, and if so do you have sample code to share? If not: am I overlooking some useful control, whether MS-supplied or available in an external library?
Thanks!

Sharepoint: Best way to display lists
of non-Sharepoint content with
“compatible” UI?
Take a look at the built in sharepoint web controls:
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls Namespace
It contains all the controls used in sharepoint. I'd tell you more, but the documentation is very thorough.
Problem with SharePoint is that there are a bunch of different ways to do this. If your data is not changing too often and is not overly large it may be worth considering entering it into a list for display.
If you have the Enterprise licence it may be worth getting your data into the BDC and using it there.
you may have to convert the objects into xml or use the serialised objects with the XML webpart for display. This still has the issue of custom rendering using XSLT.
Here's a great article that explains how to configure BDC connections to web services using the BDC Definition Editor:
Creating a Web Service Connection by Using the Business Data Catalog Definition Editor
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737887.aspx
The best way to do this IMO is to make a Web Part. As a Web Part the UI will be automatically rendered to be the same as the theme the site is using (unless you override it) and it will be able to be placed anywhere by anyone with admin privileges.

You could create a custom web part and use an SPGridView. You say you don't like it, because it forces every field into its own column, but that's not true. You can create a template (ITemplate) for every column and fully customize what's shown inside it, just like you would using a normal ASP.Net GridView. Using this approach I've added the little "New" images right next to a list item's Title, just like SharePoint does itself.
