Incremental Refresh and REST API together

Hello,

 

Can anyone guide me that is it possible to use Incremental Refresh for a dataset and also use REST APIs to delete/insert data in the dataset?

Also, are there any restrictions that we can use REST APIs (Push dataset) only for the Streaming Datasets? 

Please guide.

Can you guys please help? @Greg_Deckler @parry2k @mwegener @v-lionel-msft 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @rajulshah ,

 

the API functions only work with Push dataset (streaming dataset or datasets + tables created through the API)

Unfortunately it is not possible to create a data model with relationships etc. with this.

Power BI REST API limitations:

@amitchandak ,

 

This is Web API as data source. I am asking for the REST API to push rows into dataset.
