Power BI API – pulling data out from a visual to my web app
Anonymous
AFAIK, it is impossible.
I think Power BI is for representation purpose only. Anyway you could submit an idea on Power BI Ideas and vote it up, though I doubt that MS would implement that feature as it is quite beyond the purpose based on my understanding.
Thanks, Eric_Zhang - though to say driving actions out of Power BI is beyond the scope is... worrying. I would say that engendering actionability from Power BI is precisly why it it needed. From ML to R to the full extensibility of the overall Microsoft Analytics platform, if it is not all driving to allow organizations to actually USE the data to drive next best actions, I would say that I, and a host of others, have misunderstood Microsoft's relative strength in the market.

I'd say that "beyond the purpose" is my personal understanding.
Actually the Power BI API has provided the features of creating a dataset and pushing data, maybe reading the data is on the way, you could submit your idea and vote it up.
