I can play with the REST API with free license. To have a good start, you can download sample project from this github libary.

But I'm completely new to this, so if you can still share o give some guidance, I would really appreciate them.

 

Thank you.

Helo @Eric_Zhang !

 

I'm trying to send PostRows to PowerBI Rest API RealTimeData through PHP, I'm free user, is it necessary to have an access token ? If so, how can I get it for free ?

Really? That is awesome! Thanks.
