Can I provide database metadata in an API call to PowerBI

‎12-26-2024 10:11 AM

Hi,

 

I have the metadata for a dataset and I am wondering if I can leverage that within PowerBI. We have endpoints to pipe multiple tables of data into PowerBI. I know PowerBI can autodetect some relations but can I do so by providing another endpoint that provides the metadata for this data? The metadata has relations, filters, constraints, datatype of columns. 

 

Thanks
