Hello,
Is it possible to consume World Bank Open Data with Power BI without having to write custom connectors?
World Bank Open data is available as XML and JSON.
Examples are here:
https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/898581-api-basic-call-structures
I could not find any examples for Power BI connecting and making use of World Bank Open Data.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks

@Anonymous ,if data is available as JSON/XML you can import as that and work on it. You need to expand the various levels and create a model around it?
