    Ability to export report as template (pbit) file via API.

    This would enable automated report archiving and automated integration for source control.

    This is badly needed. Please Microsoft this should be implemented

    Would be really helpful to avoid having to export huge files with the API !

    This is essentially what the previous commentby Karl Beran refers to in the documentation of the Export-PowerBIReport - but without the data. We would really like to export the definition of the report, which we could archive and maintain under source control, and be able to upload it later and then refresh to get all the data.
