Hi v-yuta-msft,

 

Thanks for the link. The video is interesting. Unfortunately it isn't exactly what I was looking for.

 

I'm more interested in the specifics of using the Power BI API with the Power BI application and Power BI service.

 

For example:

  1. Do I need to register an application.
    Which seems a little redundant given I'm using Power BI to access a Power BI API.
  2. How do I authenticate to the API?
    Especially given as I can't prompt for credentials for an OAuth token

Do you, or anyone else on the community, have any information specific to using the Power Query capabilities in Power BI to access the Power BI APIs?

 

With thanks.
