Hi @ckkyoung 

If your portal supports Rest API, you can get data from Rest API in Power BI Desktop by using "Get Data"-->"Other"-->"Web". 

Here I have a test by Rest API: Admin - Get Activity Events

Rest API: GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/admin/activityevents

Copy and paste the Rest API url into web connector and add authoriation and other parameters your Rest API need in advance.

Click ok and then we can get data from Rest API.

For reference: Pull data from a REST API Authentication
