Power BI REST API - Load Data from Dataset possible

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 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
