Tracking Share Price
Hi everyone
I am fairly new to PowerBI, and the bulk of my work has been in PowerBI Desktop, mostly making reports.
I was wondering, is it at all possible to track the share price of a specific company live through PowerBI? I know it has to do with API resources, but I do not quite understand how to pull that into streaming dataset.
Appreciate if someone could help point me in the right direction.
Best,
RJ

My previous reply shared some API information and how to create reports.
Since you concern about "pull that into streaming dataset",
I would explain more:
when connecting with Web API,
you could publish the report from Power BI Desktop to Power BI Service(a cloud service),
on Power BI Service, you could create reports/dashboards,
configure schedule refresh for the web source(edit permission for that source),
finally share the reports/dashboards to others, others can see the dashboards/reports with data lively.
This is not compeletely "realtime", it refreshes at setting time.
As for real-time dashboards/reports, it needs some time for me to implement it.
Here are some general guides:
Create a Power BI streaming dataset for real-time dashboards
