API training

[MarshaRobert10]

Hello, 

I am relatively new to using Power BI and have built one report on my own. But I am interested to learn about API integration so that data can automatically be updated from the source into my report. Can anyone please suggest or link to training that would help me with this? It does not have to be free training, and am happy to do self-guided or virtual learning.

Many thanks,

Marsha

That question is a little too broad.  You don't usually need APIs to refresh your data in Power BI.  Maybe describe what you are ultimately trying to achieve.
