The 'Export to file' API endpoint is a great addition to the API, however, I was surprised to see that there is no way of passing in filter/slicer options.
Bookmarks can be applied, and are suggested as a workaround - but this isn't suitable for our use case.
We want to be able to generate PDF for sending out to multiple users - but need to set filters programatically - bookmarks wont let us do this.
Idea: Add Filter Options to the API Request Body - With capabilities similar to the JavaScript embedding API => (Filter Types, Operators, Values, and Conditions).
Thanks!

RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
Can we get an ETA on GA for this feature?
We have stopped our Power BI adoption due to this limitation.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
Really need this feature soon.
A must, must have for exporting automated PDFs and sending to my user groups.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
This is a must have feature. The limitations around automated reporting must be improved.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
This is such a mind-numbingly obvious feature that I can't believe it wasn't a Day 1 feature. Here's hoping we get it very soon.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
Paginated reports have a mechanism for passing in filters, please add something similar for power bi reports.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
Sensible suggestion. This would really enhance the offering with added functionality.
RE: Add filter options to the 'Export File' API
Agreed, please add the functionality of passing parameterised values through to the filters before export.
