Fast moving data in Power BI embedded

Hi all,

 

I have a solution that I am trying to design to support Power BI embedded (app owns data for ISV), and fast moving data.

 

I cannot use push data sets unfortunately, since they dont support RLS which is a mandatory requirement for me.

 

I am simply going to push data into a DB and use Direct Query, but I had some questions I cannot find answers too online:

 

1. In order to avoid the user always hitting refresh on the page to view minute-by-minute data changes, can I use the client side JavaScript SDK to refresh the Power BI visuals? Ideally, the graphs/visuals should update without the user touching anything.

 

2. In extention to the above question, would a programatic refresh of the visuals count as a "render" with respect to costing?

 

Thanks.

Mark

      Hi zoloturu

       

      Thanks for the reply, do you know if/how either of these options affect the report renders with respect to pricing?

        Hi xmark,

         

        In Power BI Service you pay for:

        * Power BI Service license (Pro)

        * capacity (if applicable) - Power BI Embedded (price/hour) and Power BI Premium (price/month)

         

        You can still embed without capacity.

         

        No additional costs applied for scripting and using SDKs.

         

        Regards,
        Ruslan
