Hi @Anonymous,

Do you need something like the refresh api (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-data-refresh-apis-in-the-power-bi-service/)?
You can also read about cloning reports, update datasources, credentials and refreshes in a recent blog I've written (https://medium.com/@thanosd/deploy-power-bi-template-reports-in-a-multitenant-environment-26a9cb84079).
Hope it helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

please read the document I previously mentioned. It's very straight forward (POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/refreshes).
