NodeJS Push Dataset

[huskey_ay]

Hello,

I'm building an integration that allows users to push data to their power bi account. From what I understand, the flow will be: get authentication code -> get access token -> call power BI REST APIs.

My question:

- Is there a way for me to use the power BI REST APIs without having the user authenticate with Azure AD? Because currently, my integration requires users to auth with Azure AD in order to push data to their power BI account.

Thank you.

Hi @huskey_ay,

There is a way. But you have to build it in the PBI Service UI. Please refer to the Note in power-bi/service-real-time-streaming#using-the-streaming-dataset-ui-to-push-data.

>>>For streaming datasets created using the Power BI service UI, as described in the previous paragraph, Azure AD authentication is not required. In such datasets, the dataset owner receives a URL with a rowkey, which authorizes the requestor to push data into the dataset without using an Azure AD OAuth bearer token. Take now, however, that the Azure AD (AAD) approach still works to push data into the dataset.

Best Regards,
