Requesting the datasources using the Get Datasources REST API returns an unexpected response

Hi,

I have created a dataset (in this case an Excel table) in Power BI in 2 different ways:

I loaded the Excel table into a Power BI Desktop model and published the report to the Power BI service.
I imported the same Excel file in the Power BI service: Create Dataset → Files → Local file → Import.

Looking at the datasets on "My workspace", both show up:

I'm using the Get Datasources REST API call to retrieve the datasources for both datasets, by providing the datatsetId as the URL parameter.

When retrieving the datasources for the dataset created within Power BI desktop, I get the following response:

However, when I do the same for the dataset created within Power BI service (which is the same datasource), I get a different response:

When retrieving the datasource from this dataset I get: "value": [ ] instead of the datasource (Excel-file).

Does anyone know why I do not get the same response for borh requests?

Thanks in advance,

Marc
