Power BI API when data does not load

Recently we had an issue where the Power BI reports failed to load because of high CPU and memory usage. My question is under these conditions will the Power BI APIs work; if they won't work is it safe to assume that when the APIs do not return appropriate JSON response within a threshold time; there is an issue in Power BI.

You can find the network status in a develop mode(F12) in a browser. The APIs would always return JSON response in time, your local PC CPU and memory high utilization won't affect the API server. The high CPU and memory would only affects the browser on your local PC to consume the response JSON and render the reports.

 

What would you like to do with Power BI APIs?

I wanted to check if the reports that we access from https://msit.powerbi.com take lot of time to load due to high server CPU usage; will it also affect the API calls.
