Restful powerBI delete streaming
Hello, I'm fairly new to power BI, I'm currently working with the streaming restful API. I created the restful endpoint following a tutorial online and the POST operation works. I am able to push information and read it. I now need to delete the data from the table. My restful address when I push information looks like this
https://api.powerbi.com/beta/[STRING1]/datasets/[STRING2]/rows?key=[PRIVATE KEY]
It was provided to me by power BI when I created the endpoint.
I'm guessing STRING1 corresponds to some sort of userID and STRING2 to my dataset
I found this DOC to delete the rows
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238041.aspx
The address doesn't match my endpoint address (I don't know what the table name is furthermore BETA and V1.0 are different I'm assuming)
DELETE https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/{dataset_id}/tables/{table_name}/rows
I have tried a
DELETE https://api.powerbi.com/beta/[STRING1]/datasets/[STRING2]/rows?key=[PRIVATE KEY] and I got a 404 ERROR
Any I deas?
Thank you.

The DELETE ROWS api is for the regular datasets, suchs ones published from desktop, get data from service and even the "HISTORIC" data for steaming dataset.
AFAIK, there's no api to delete rows in a streaming dataset, you'll have to delete and re-create a new one. You can submit this at Power BI Ideas and vote it up.
thank you,
what would a http request for a DELETE preformed on a "historic" data of a streaming dataset.
That is what I was refering to actually. I need to clear the historic data.
I just found out that the name of the table is RealTimeData (default name)
When I try to delete it I get a 403, do I have to authenticate to be able to delete the data?
If yes, can someone provide information about about the authentication procedure in order to perform such action?
thanks
