Is it possible to extract a table from Power BI and Load it in Python using the Power BI API?

Hi, I am currently trying to use the Power BI REST API to retrieve the data in a table in a Power BI dataset. 

I am using the Azure client secret as an extra security measure. 

 

I have used the API to return a list of workspaces in a pandas dataframe. This has worked perfectly. 

However, I cannot get the API to extract data from a table in a dataset in the same workspace. 

 

The data pipeline plan is to:

Use Power BI to extract the data from the data warehouse - Done

Use Power BI API in Python to extract the data from the dataset table and load it into a Pandas DataFrame in Python - Failed

Use data in a machine learning model - Not Tested

Export clean data back into Power BI to build visuals

 

Does anyone have any knowledge or know if it is possible to extract data from a Power BI table and export it into Python using the Power BI API?

 

Thank you

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Due to time constraints, I have had to use a manual workaround, which will be good for future development.
