Power BI Embedded get data from backend REST API

‎03-23-2018 11:04 PM

Hi,

 

I want to add to my application dashboards and reports using Power BI Embedded. Fot hat I prefer to use my backend (via REST API) as the data source due to the implemetaion of tenant and security in the backend, and if I will go directly to DB I'm passing all the logic.

 

Is it possible?

 

Thanks,

Adam

Yes, it is possible.

The general approach is:

Get Data from Web -> then parse JSON, after that shape the data to the proper data model.

There is a blog talking about this, see:

How to call REST APIs and parse JSON with Power BI

 

Regards,

Michael
