Hi,
I have a generel question about REST API Functionality. Is it possible to read/extract data from a Dataset via API? I need the Data from a Dataset extern in Python to work with it.
Thanks
Torsten

Hey, It is possible to extract data from Dataset via an API .
The below blog explains leveraging ADF :

but you can even extract via python script leveraging the Dataset-Execute queries API:

Hi @torsten_FO ,
Please review the following links and check if they are what you want...
GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets
Connect to datasets in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop
Best Regards
Hi Rena,
I have try the first option with an API call. In this case I get only the Dataset properties. What I want is the Data inside of the Dataset.
The second option is not what I want. My Idea is a connection with Python via API to a Dataset and then to read the Data.
Best Regards
Torsten
