Can Power BI use a non-OData compliant REST API?

Can Power BI use a non-OData compliant REST API as a data source or must any REST API it uses be OData compliant?

    If you build a custom Data Connector, the REST endpoint can be anything that you wish.

     

    A non-ODATA endpoint by itself (i.e. just json) doesn't descripe the data format/schema well enough so that's a task you'll be doing in your custom connector.
