    Hi Anonymous,

     

    In your scenario, first we can use Get Data from Web option to import the data on this web site into Power BI.

     

    Then for the refresh part. You should know that Power BI cannot refresh data automatically. So if you want to refresh data, two options: Click Refresh button or Configure a scheduled refresh.

     

    Thanks,
    Xi Jin.

but this is not live refresh. We can schedule max 8 times in a day so this mean it will get refreshed after every 3 hours and not live.
