Access PowerBI Model over HTTP

‎04-12-2017 05:23 AM

We can Analyze the PowerBI published model in Excel which is good. But what if we want to analyze the model using Pivot Grid (no excel) in custom web application. The Pivot Grid support XmlaStore like MSMDPump.dll on Http. Can we access the Power BI Model also using the http URL and AAD Auth Token?

 

Please help if it is possible.

The answer should be NO. As Power BI doesn't even provide an API to read a dataset in report. Check this idea REST API access to READ datasets and vote it up.
