Power BI REST APIs Cost associated

Hi,

 

I would like to know if there is any cost associated when using Power BI REST APIs. 
In these articles, I could not find any clarification whether there is a cost or not.

Power BI REST APIs for embedded analytics and automation - Power BI REST API | Microsoft Learn
Datasets - Execute Queries - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

Thanks in advance!

There is an indirect cost - in CUs in Fabric.

There is no direct cost of leveraging the REST APIs as stated by Ibendlin but to trigger the REST API you might use an engine/offering like Azure function/azure automation/ADF etc which might have thier own cost based on the time the API s being executed and the data ingress/egress part
