Retrieving Specific Workspace Details

We want to retrieve details of workspaces matching a certain criteria. This Pipeline demonstrates how we can use the Power BI Read Groups Snap to accomplish this task.

We are interested in workspaces that have the name snapLogic or Adapters. Therefore, we configure the Power BI Read Groups Snap as shown in the image below:

Based on the configuration. the Power BI Read Groups Snap fetches a list of all workspaces with the name Adapters or snapLogic and displays it in the output. 

The remaining portion of the Pipeline is optional. We can choose to write the Power BI Read Groups Snap's output into a local file. To this end, we use a combination of the JSON Formatter and File Writer Snaps.
