Creating DirectQuery Dataset using REST (Embedded Power BI)

HI.

Is it possible to  create direst query dataset using REST API?

I need to create new report after adding a table to DB, so I'm trying to create such dataset. No success so far.

AFAIK, the only way to create a dataset via REST API is following Create a dataset in Power BI. However you can update the connection string for a dataset in DQ mode by using Set All Connections.

 

I'm not getting your idea "create new report after adding a table to DB", not sure why it has to be a DQ mode dataset.
