The "Try-It"-button on the pages of the Power BI REST API has been found very useful by many.

But it looks as if it had been deliberately removed: Re: Power BI REST API "Try-It" feature GONE? - Page 2 - Microsoft Power BI Community


Let's collect some votes to get this feature back.

RE: Bring back the "Try it"-button for the Power BI Rest API

The Power BI REST API "Try-It" option isn't a new option and responded fairly well. Why then did Microsoft opt to remove it? Background maintenance? The "Try-It" option was not only an excellent playground tool for basic testing (easy token generation...) but also provided an excellent reference point to initiate potential users to Power BI REST API methods. I used it in many demos and encouraged potential users to give it a try, Reaction was always positive. IOW it worked and people liked it.

Got confirmation that this feature will come back soon: Alex Power|s| BI auf Twitter: „@TheBIccountant There’s some backend work being done and it should be returning soon. Not the fake soon, actual soon.“ / TwitterSo this idea could be closed (cannot do this myself...)
