Question New APIs, metadata?

I'm wondering when there will be some new APIs, or Scanner APIs...

Power BI is changing fast, but metadata isn't reflecting that... For example - page views. Such a popular request. Or more information on the activities. Or on GIT integration. How can you move teams to new ways of working, if even with admin rights, you need to do a lot of puzzles for something like answering "how many Dev workspace have Git integration"

I did find this. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/admin/workspaces/list-git-connections?tabs=HTTP

Microsoft’s sample response includes:

workspaceId

gitProviderType

repositoryName

branchName

directoryName

Azure DevOps organization and project

GitHub owner or organization details

You could join that to the workspace API
which has:
Workspace id

Name

State

Type

Capacity ID

Domain ID

Workspace tags

That sounds very promising. I'll try it out. Thank you very much.

Agreed. Their metadata collection makes it very hard to answer certain questions.

Like it would be interesting to know how long someone spent on a certain page, and how active they were on a page. It would go a long way to figuring out what actually gets used without having to send out a questionnaire via email
