Consume Power Bi ML model from a .net C# application
Hello! I just started to explore Machine Learning functionality in Power Bi.
I managed to create a premium workspace, load a dataflow with the training data from my Database and train the model.
Now, inside Power Bi web app, I can Apply the ML model to new data.
I can't figure out how I can use the model from a client application (in particular from a .NET C# web application). Is there any endpoint URL where I can call a web service or something similar?
Thank you!

Understood. Please note that Power BI is designed as a sink, not as a source. If your modeling result would be stored in a calculated column, or if it would be accessible via a measure then you could access it via XMLA endpoint queries. But most likely you use a visual to get the result and I am not sure if the visual Query exposes that data.

What prevents you from running your own ML model on your data?
This is my scenario. I developed a web application with it's database.
I loaded my data from application DB into Power Bi and trained a model to predict one of the fields of my DB.
Now I would like to use the model inside my application so that, when the application user adds a new record I can give him the predicted value based on the variables of the new data record.
I was hoping to be able to call a webservice from my code, passing the new record to the model and getting back the predicted value...or something like that!
