TIL: FabricRestClient Supports Long Running Operations
Calling Fabric and Power BI APIs that support LRO using Semantic-Link
I want to thank Michael Kovalsky for pointing out that FabricRestClient in Semantic Link supports (since v 0.7.5) Long Running Operation (LRO).
💡
LRO support allows the client to wait for the request to process without being blocked. Without LRO support, you will get a 202 response code saying the request is being processed. You need to submit another request based on the url returned to get the result. With LRO support, FabricRestClient will wait 20s and give you the result back.
For any Fabric APIs that support LRO, you just need to pass lro_wait=True
Example:
Below API returns Fabric notebook definition
%pip install semantic-link
import sempy.fabric as fabric
client = fabric.FabricRestClient()
response = client.post(f"v1/workspaces/<ws>/notebooks/<nb>/getDefinition", lro_wait = True)
response
