GET table contents through webapp

I'm looking to write a simple webapp that will go through a specific dataset's table and determine if the data is complete and up-to-date. I'd run this on a daily basis. I started looking into the Power BI API and noticed you can modify existing tables (e.g. add rows), but I see no mention of actually getting the existing rows. I went ahead and downloaded this Getting Started VS solution and it connects to my data source great and gets a list of all the datasets I have. Is there a way to obtain tables' rows using this API? If not, is there any other way to do so?

@fedpar Here's the list of all REST API operations. I think Add and delete rows could be what you're after. Also I it may not be possible to get individual row atm through API but you can submit that as an idea to be implemented in future.

Hmm...there doesn't appear to be a way to read the data. Oh well, back to doing it manually, I guess. Thanks!
