How to refresh Python API in PBI online?

[shahid_tanmoy]

Hi there, 

I have a python code that gets sales data through a apple app store via an API connection. 
This code was put into the get data> python scipt method and outputs a query table. All authentication is within the code. 
To refresh, all i do is refresh the table. This works fine on my desktop. 

However, I need this to refresh scheduled once a day, but online it doesnt allow it saying my dataset does not support refresh.  
Is there something extra I have to do refreshing Python Scripts with rest API?

Thanks!

Hi @shahid_tanmoy ,

PBI online means Power BI Service, right?

I think you want to set up scheduled refresh for a dataset in Power BI Service. Please refer to

Configure scheduled refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

If it's in Power BI Desktop, and for import mode, you'll have to refresh it manually. However, for DirectQuery mode and Live connection mode, data is always up-to-date because Power BI Desktop always sends queries to return data from the data source.
