Read a dataset directly from a NodeJS app

Hi, is there a way to read directly from a dataset on the Power BI service, without relying on power automate and a CSV file?
I´m not sure if the nodeJS SDK is up to date https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-ie/blog/pbie-nodejs-sdk/
I already have the flow implemented in Power automate

  • The first flow reads the dataset, then extracts the data into a CSV file.
  • Then a second flow reads the CSV file, generates a JSON object, and provides an API that can be read from the nodeJS app.

Is there a way to get rid of power-automate and read directly from the dataset?

Can NodeJS read from an Analysis Services data source?

Hello there, thanks for your reply, but I'm unsure if I follow your question about what type of Analysis Service, and how does it relate to the issue?

Power BI Datasets can be accessed as SSAS Tabular "cubes", and you can run DAX or DMV queries against these.
