README

A comprehensive Laravel package for interacting with the Microsoft Power BI REST API. Built on Saloon v4 with type-safe responses, automatic caching, and multiple OAuth2 authentication flows.

Features

• Multiple Authentication Flows: Service Principal, Admin Service Principal, and Azure User (authorization code)
• Type-Safe DTOs: Immutable response objects with full IDE autocomplete
• Automatic Caching: Configurable response caching via Saloon's cache plugin
• Account Type Restrictions: Automatic enforcement of API access restrictions
• Pagination Support: Automatic handling of continuation tokens
• Comprehensive API Coverage: Groups, Reports, Dashboards, Embed Tokens, and Admin endpoints

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x
• Microsoft Power BI Pro or Premium account
• Azure AD application with Power BI API permissions

Installation

composer require interworks/laravel-powerbi

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-powerbi-config"

Add your Power BI credentials to your .env file:f

# Azure AD Configuration
POWER_BI_TENANT=your-tenant-id

# Service Principal (Client Credentials)
POWER_BI_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
POWER_BI_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

# Admin Service Principal (Optional)
POWER_BI_ADMIN_CLIENT_ID=your-admin-client-id
POWER_BI_ADMIN_CLIENT_SECRET=your-admin-client-secret

# Azure User OAuth Redirect (Optional)
POWER_BI_REDIRECT_URI=https://your-app.com/auth/powerbi/callback

# Caching Configuration
POWER_BI_CACHE_ENABLED=true
POWER_BI_CACHE_EXPIRY_SECONDS=3600

Quick Start

use InterWorks\PowerBI\Facades\PowerBI;

// Authenticate
$token = PowerBI::getAccessToken();
PowerBI::authenticate($token);

// Get groups and reports
$groups = PowerBI::getGroups();
$reports = PowerBI::getReportsInGroup('group-id');
$report = PowerBI::getReportInGroup('group-id', 'report-id');

// Generate embed token
use InterWorks\PowerBI\Requests\EmbedToken\ReportsGenerateTokenInGroup;

$embedToken = PowerBI::send(new ReportsGenerateTokenInGroup(
    groupId: 'group-id',
    reportId: 'report-id',
    accessLevel: 'View'
));

Authentication

The package supports three authentication flows:

Service Principal (Client Credentials)

Best for backend automation and server-to-server communication.

$token = PowerBI::getAccessToken();
PowerBI::authenticate($token);

Restriction: Cannot access individual resource endpoints (/reports/{id}). Use group-scoped endpoints.

Admin Service Principal

For tenant-wide administration with elevated permissions.

$adminConnector = PowerBI::adminServicePrincipal();
PowerBI::setConnector($adminConnector);

Azure User (Authorization Code)

For user-delegated permissions with browser-based consent.

$connector = PowerBI::azureUser(redirectUri: 'https://your-app.com/callback');
$authUrl = $connector->getAuthorizationUrl();
// Redirect user, then exchange code for token

Available Endpoints

The package provides request classes for Power BI API endpoints:

Groups: GetGroups, GetGroupsAsAdmin

Reports: GetReportsInGroup, GetReportInGroup, GetReport

Dashboards: GetDashboardsInGroup, GetDashboardInGroup

Embed Tokens: ReportsGenerateTokenInGroup, DashboardsGenerateTokenInGroup

Admin: GetUserArtifactAccessAsAdmin

Browse all available requests in src/Requests.

Response DTOs

All responses are transformed into type-safe DTOs with readonly properties:

Collections: Groups, Reports, Dashboards, ArtifactAccessResponse

Resources: Group, Report, Dashboard, EmbedToken, ArtifactAccessEntry

$groups = PowerBI::getGroups();

// Laravel Collections with full IDE support
$groups->groups->each(function ($group) {
    echo $group->name; // Fully typed properties
});

Caching

Responses are automatically cached using Laravel's cache system:

POWER_BI_CACHE_ENABLED=true
POWER_BI_CACHE_EXPIRY_SECONDS=3600

Check cache status:

if ($groups->response()->isCached()) {
    // Response served from cache
}

Account Type Restrictions

Power BI API enforces different access levels by authentication type:

Endpoint Type	Service Principal	Admin SP	Azure User
Group-scoped (/groups/{id}/reports)	✅	✅	✅
Individual (/reports/{id})	❌	✅	✅
Admin (/admin/*)	❌	✅	❌

Restrictions are enforced automatically with clear exceptions.

Troubleshooting

Authentication failures: Verify Azure AD credentials and Power BI API permissions in your app registration.

Account type restrictions: Service Principal cannot access individual resource endpoints - use group-scoped endpoints or switch to Azure User.

Admin endpoint 401s: Ensure Service Principal has Power BI Administrator role assigned.
