Unknown Error on Fabric Rest API getDefinition call on Semantic Model

[BryanCarmichael]

Hi - running into an issue trying to get the defintion of a Semantic Model in a notebook.

Note that the parameters are correct as if i drop the /getDefinition from the end I get results back as expected for the Semantic Model.

Code in notebook below

import requests

import json

token_string = mssparkutils.credentials.getToken("https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/")

header = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization': f'Bearer {token_string}'}

addbody = {}

addURL = 'https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/XXXXXXX/semanticModels/YYYYYY/getDefinition'

add_Response = requests.get(addURL,headers=header, data=json.dumps(addbody))

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

from pyspark.sql import Row, Column

from pyspark.sql.functions import col, year, regexp_replace

# Initialize Spark Session

spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("JsonToDelta").getOrCreate()

# Extract the list of results

sourceData =add_Response.json()

print(sourceData)

You used GET. This needs to be a POST call.

As an aside, if you're doing this in a Fabric notebook, you can use semantic-link-labs (aka sempy) with the FabricRESTClient class to do away with the whole 'Get Token' and request crafting malarky.
