Hi @ganesh_simhadri,

 

As of now, Automatic refresh is not available within Power BI Desktop. The only refresh option within BI Desktop is the manual Refresh you find in the top ribbon. Here is an idea: Auto refresh data in Power BI desktop

 

Power BI REST API supports post import to upload .pbix file programmatically.
