Wire up a shared dataset in SSRS REST API

Question

Using the SSRS REST API , I can deploy a report from PowerShell in an automation pipeline.

But how do I use the API to wire it up to our predefined Shared DataSources?

The PUT Reports({Id})/DataSources endpoint doesn't seem to be for Shared DataSources.

Answer 1

Ok, using Fiddler to watch queries to the report server, I found it makes calls to

PUT .../CatalogItems({id})/Model.Report/DataSources

I don't see that endpoint documented in the Swagger Documentation, but it seems to work.

The body is a list of data source references like this.

[
	{
		"Name":"MyDataSource",
		"Path":"/Path/to/MyDataSource",
		"IsReference":true
	}
]
