API Response Data
Can PowerBI stream data from a 3rd part api? For example, using the Google Geolocation API, a user clicks on a link and his/her geolocation is determined (lat/long). Can that information then be streamed into a dashboard?

Can I somehow stream json api responses into a dashboard? For example, a user clicks a link that returns their current location (lat and long) using the Google Geolocation API. Can I display those coordinates about each specific user in a dashboard? Thanks
claireking,
Please review the example in the blog below about how to use Web entry in Power BI Desktop to connect to Google Geolocation API.
