Hi @Uday3th1rr,

Yes, you can create custom columns and parameters in Power BI through its API. Here are the steps to follow:

Create a dataset using the API endpoint you mentioned, i.e., POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets.
Once the dataset is created, you can create a table in it using the POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}/tables API endpoint.
After creating a table, you can add a custom column to it using the POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}/tables/{tableId}/columns API endpoint. Provide the column name, formula, data type, and any other relevant information in the request body.
Similarly, you can create a parameter using the POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/datasets/{datasetId}/parameters API endpoint. Provide the parameter name, data type, and default value in the request body.
Finally, push the data into the dataset by creating measures or adding rows to the table.

Note that you need to have the necessary permissions and authentication to create custom columns and parameters in Power BI through its API.
