Extracts Azure Power BI contents from a Power BI server to the file system.  This operation supports both **standard** and **package-based** projects.

> [!NOTE]
>
> ***Objects can be exported in .pbix or PBIP structures, based on*** [***project properties***](https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FD11/pages/12395013775/exportContents#Project-Properties) ***.***

# Artifacts

This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository.

# Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates the selection to the workflow developer to determine.

# Endpoint Execution

This operations delegates the execution to the workflow developer to decide.

## Troubleshooting

While exporting a LIVE report, that points to another workspace’s shared semantic model, you can come across the error -

```
Calling https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/<id>/items/<itemid>/getDefinition
[31;1mException: [31;1mResponse status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).; API error code: 'Unauthorized'[0m
```

This usually means the service principal is not assigned with Contributor access to the shared semantic model’s workspace as well. **Both the report and model’s workspaces need the Contributor access.**

> [!NOTE]
>
> In case of .pbix, Power BI REST API doesn't support exporting a Shared Dataset directly using the dataset id, however it can still be exported by using it’s tagged Report’s id in the workspace.
>
> To achieve this, prepare an empty report with the same name as the Dataset, and it will get exported as .pbix
