Hi @Anonymous, 

 

You can use web data source in Power BI desktop to call rest API of data source. You can take a look at these two samples:

https://chris.koester.io/index.php/2015/07/16/get-data-from-twitter-api-with-power-query/

 

Then you can publish the report to Power BI service, set schedule refresh for the dataset.
