Hi,

I want to learn about PowerBI REST API? Could anyone guide me where to start?

Well, I have already started reading about REST to start with but what I want to ask specifically is please gear me, guide me towards PowerBI REST API.

Hahaha, I think I stumbled upon a couple of good starting points already

But I'm completely new to this, so if you can still share o give some guidance, I would really appreciate them.

Thank you.

Ooops... Big Ooops... Hit a wall! Requires Pro Licensing... I think I'm going to hold off since I wont be able to apply what I will learn... But when we're nearing to get the Pro Version I'll definitely revisit this.

I can play with the REST API with free license. To have a good start, you can download sample project from this github libary.

Helo @Eric_Zhang !

I'm trying to send PostRows to PowerBI Rest API RealTimeData through PHP, I'm free user, is it necessary to have an access token ? If so, how can I get it for free ?
