[Ronak_1]

Can we have live data refresh for Power BI report with API as source instead of creating scheduled refresh in Power BI Service?

Hi @Ronak_1 ,

Unfortunately, API's are not on the datasources list available for DirectQuery.

Please refer to this blog post for more in depth clarification: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2021/04/25/can-i-build-a-power-bi-directquery-dataset-on-top-of-a-rest-...
