Convert PBI Desktop dataset to push dataset

Hi, I have a report and dataset created in Power BI Desktop and published to Power BI Online. I need to update the rows of this dataset from an API and try to use a REST API, but I can only update a push dataset and look for a method to convert my normal dataset. Would it be possible to convert or copy the existing structure to facilitate the creation of this Push Dataset?

 

I tried converting using a Windows PowerShell module recommended in a question asked in 2019, but that module has had an error since last year and apparently doesn't work anymore.

 

Need Help

    I see two options:

     

    1. use XMLA write to add data to your regular dataset. You would still need to manage the refresh of your user interfact

    2. start over and create a hybrid streaming dataset that you can then push data into via standard HTTP calls.
