Enhancement Request: Easy way to override default BASE_URL

[tmsmith001]

Thank you for your library. It is proving useful.

The initial difficult thing had to figure out was that the settings.py was setting BASE_URL to wrong value for our environment. Once I figured this out and overwrote the BASE_URL value in the file, the library worked for me. Would be nice to have parameter when creating the PowerBI client to override the BASE_URL instead.

Thanks.

Glad it’s helping. As a work around you can modify BASE_URL of the client after you’ve initialized it. Something like pbi.BASE_URL = “new_url”

Wasn’t aware that it’s possible to have a different URL but this seems like a reasonable thing to have. Will implement. Am taking a break from this project for a couple weeks and can take a look then.

pbi.BASE_URL = “new_url”

Thank you for the work around to modify BASE_URL. That is much cleaner and easier than what I was doing to overwrite settings.py. UPDATE - This initially appeared to work but did not on some subsequent calls like when requesting datasources on a dataset, it reverted back to original BASE URL.

But yes, there are different URLs depending on customer type. Thanks again.
