Incremental API calls using Python script

Hello,

 

I am looking for a solution to a problem while refreshing the data which I have imported using Python connector.

 

I am calling the data from REST API using a python code and used this code directly in Power BI. Now, every time if we refresh the data we are calling all the rows, which is hitting the API limit.
I want to check if DWH is the only option or if it can be brought incrementally in Power BI.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance
