Power BI API vs sharepoint

fwennber — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 06:30:24 GMT

Hi,

Can I use Power BI API REST for free without Power BI embedded that have a cost attached to it.

I want to embedd my reports into Sharepoint.

@fwennber You can check out REST APIs here that are seperate of power bi embedded and you can use them programatically. You can also consider Publish to Web feature that gives you iFrame to embed however using that feature there is no authentication and anyone with the link can view your report.

So this approach is free then? You can use these Power BI API functions to embedd reports i.e IFrames without register for Power BI Embedded?

@fwennber,

You need an Azure subscription to provision Power BI Embedded service. For more information, visit Power BI Embedded FAQ.
