Get Data from Power BI rest API

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 13:53:43 GMT

Hello everyone,

I wondered if it is possible to get Data from Power BI rest API ( I am pretty sure the answer is no but we never know). The purpose is to use Power Bi as a Data source for a client that is outside the organization.

Is that possible?

Thank you very much

"Get Data" is too generic. Please be more specific. What format do you expect? Or are you thinking about a live connection to the XMLA endpoint?

(and yes, you can use the REST API to download the .pbix, for example)

You may be better off creating a solution that uses the actual data source.
