Power BI embedded supports data refresh
But aren't programmatic refreshes triggered through the API constrained by the workspace capacity anyway (i.e. up to 8x or 48x per day)? It sounds like they are in the documentation:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-data-refresh-apis-in-the-power-bi-service/
That's right otravers.
Refreshes are constrained to 8 or 48 times per day based on the acquired capacity. If you exceed this limit, you get an exception "Number of refresh requests in last 24 hours exceeded limit".
To add some more on this topic every refresh consumes part of the acquired capacity. So, you may face situations that a refresh (even for a small dataset) takes a long time waiting for some capacity to be assigned to it.
A feature that allow incremental refreshes has already started and it would be nice addition to the refresh toolkit.
Hope this add to the conversation.
