Refresh Tables of Dataset Using Rest API

Hi guys, i need a help.

It's possible updated only two tables of a dateset using Power BI API?

Exemple:
I have a dataset with 4 tables: fSales, fClient, fOrder and fCalls. I wanna updated fCalls and fOrder, the another tables i not wanna updated.

I'm reading the documentation but during my test's i don't have sucessed.

For this exemple the body object used in requested is:
dataset_objects =
{
"refresh": {
"type": "Automatic",
"commitMode": "PartialBatchl",
"objects": [
{
"database": "test_refresh",
"table": "fCalls"
}
, {
"database": "test_refresh",
"table": "fOrder"
}
]
}
}

The complete link of requested is:
base_url = '{API_PBI}/groups/{workspace_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/refreshes'
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {pbi_token}', 'Content-
body = {"notifyOption" : "NoNotification", "objects" : dataset_objects}

r = requests.post(url=base_url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(body))

Thank's

Hi rafaelBrasil ,

Your body looks more like a XMLA payload. When using the Power BI REST API, Power BI knows already from the URL which dataset to use and that it's all about a refresh. So you only need this part of your request body:

{ "type": "automatic", "commitMode": "partialBatch", "objects": [ { "table": "fCalls" }, { "table": "fOrder" } ] }

You can create partitions and only refresh the latest partition if you need to speed up the refresh.

For more details refer to the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/asynchronous-refresh
