Adding of artifacts to connector

I second this please! I am badly needing the Admin - Groups GetUnusedArtifactsAsAdmin for all workspaces on a large tenant for a massive cleanup project.

Also a function to Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod to pass in a url to produce back results would be a nice feature for pulling back any ad-hoc requests to the model or output file to a downloads folder - not sure if this is possible but would be very useful when admin is requested to produce for governance and compliance reporting on the fly.

These will be great additions but would present some challenges especially for beginners to calling APIs with M. All of these have a continuationToken pagination method which can be tricky in M.

Also, in large tenants, the GetUnusedArtifactsAsAdmin would almost certainly fail given that there's a 200 requests per hour limitation on them on you have to loop through each workspace one at a time. Similar API calls that have this kind of throttling are put into the "Experimental" folder as we cannot guarantee performance in large tenants.

@toneshelby can you expand on this request, perhaps in another Issue so we can track separately:

"Also a function to Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod to pass in a url to produce back results would be a nice feature for pulling back any ad-hoc requests to the model or output file to a downloads folder - not sure if this is possible but would be very useful when admin is requested to produce for governance and compliance reporting on the fly."

This connector already has a function (GETData) where you can put in any URL you want and it returns the raw JSON. But I'm not sure what you mean by "output file to a downloads folder", this is not a PowerShell script this is just a connector for Power BI and it can't programmatically dump files anywhere.
