Connection to data set from an app

Hello Community!
How are they? I am writing to see if you can suggest a way for the following situation.
I have a client who currently works with BIME and wants to migrate to power bi, we managed with our consultancy to meet all their needs, except one:

 

They are developing an IOS and ANDROID application, which they currently want to launch to their customers, what this application does is hang from a link that they generate through BIME and with this link the app create custom graphics, the process they carry out is that Just as we with Power Bi can create a link to publish a dashboard, they create a link that downloads a plain text file.

 

Is there any way that I can connect to a data set published in the cloud to use this data in another app, agenda to Microsoft?

Hi @Anonymous,

Power bi not able to directly get data from an application, I think you need to web connector to get the data from rest API from its data source instead of the app itself.

Pull data from a REST API Authentication 
If above not help, can you please explain more about your requirement?
