Fast moving data in Power BI embedded

[xmark]

Hi all,

I have a solution that I am trying to design to support Power BI embedded (app owns data for ISV), and fast moving data.

I cannot use push data sets unfortunately, since they dont support RLS which is a mandatory requirement for me.

I am simply going to push data into a DB and use Direct Query, but I had some questions I cannot find answers too online:

1. In order to avoid the user always hitting refresh on the page to view minute-by-minute data changes, can I use the client side JavaScript SDK to refresh the Power BI visuals? Ideally, the graphs/visuals should update without the user touching anything.

2. In extention to the above question, would a programatic refresh of the visuals count as a "render" with respect to costing?

Thanks.

Hi @xmark,

In Javascript SDK you have two options:

1) Reload (it will reload iframe)

2) Refresh (it is similar to refresh button in PBI Desktop)

js sdk

Hi @zoloturu

Thanks for the reply, do you know if/how either of these options affect the report renders with respect to pricing?

Hi @xmark,

In Power BI Service you pay for:

* Power BI Service license (Pro)

* capacity (if applicable) - Power BI Embedded (price/hour) and Power BI Premium (price/month)

You can still embed without capacity.

No additional costs applied for scripting and using SDKs.
