Power BI REST API - Load Data from Dataset possible

torsten_FO — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 11:25:10 GMT

Hi,

I have a generel question about REST API Functionality. Is it possible to read/extract data from a Dataset via API? I need the Data from a Dataset extern in Python to work with it.

Thanks

Torsten

Hi @torsten_FO ,

Please review the following links and check if they are what you want...

Datasets - Get Datasets

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets

Connect to datasets in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop

Best Regards

Hi Rena,

I have try the first option with an API call. In this case I get only the Dataset properties. What I want is the Data inside of the Dataset.

The second option is not what I want. My Idea is a connection with Python via API to a Dataset and then to read the Data.

Best Regards

Torsten

Hey, It is possible to extract data from Dataset via an API .
The below blog explains leveraging ADF :

but you can even extract via python script leveraging the Dataset-Execute queries API:
