Hi @Daryl-Lynch-Bzy ,

I think you can check below offical blog to learn more details about Power BI Rest API.

The table in blog lists the Power BI REST API operation groups.

For reference:

Power BI REST APIs for embedded analytics and automation - Power BI REST API | Microsoft Learn

As far as I know, XMLA Endpoint in Power BI Service is a connectivity for third party tools to connect to Power BI Dataset.

For reference:
