What it does
Microsoft.PowerBI.Api is the official .NET client library for the Power BI public REST endpoints. It provides typed access to workspaces, reports, datasets, dashboards, imports, and embed-token generation, among others. It is commonly used alongside MSAL for authentication in service and Power BI Embedded scenarios, and targets .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Framework 4.8+.
Why use it
Use it to call the Power BI REST APIs from .NET with strongly typed models instead of hand-built HTTP requests, especially for embedding and administrative automation.
Getting started
dotnet add package Microsoft.PowerBI.Api
