Newbie question - Custom connector for O365

Hello,    I apologize in advance for the very basic question, but I've been tasked to find out how I can create a custom connector for Power BI that connects to Office 365 and retrieves usage data....

    HI Anonymous,

    Unfortunately, office 365 seems not to provide other methods to get data except graph API. For this scenario, you may have to use the corresponding API to get data. 

    Notice: if your custom connector is designed based on the API, it also shared the limitations which raw API listed.

    Regards,

    Hi Greg, 

     

    Yes, I'm familiar with the Usage Analytics and the CQD Connector for Teams. I need an alternative as they both have several limitations and performance issues. 

     

    Thanks!
