Hello,
My app is generating continuous data to a CSV file, accessible through a URL.
I need to get this data into a streaming dataset, close to real time as possible, to build a Power BI dashboard.
What's the best way to get this data into the dataset?
I'm trying to build it using Fabric Real-Time analytics, but I'm not sure, which data source to use.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks, I've solved the problem by developing a web app in Python that extracts the data and sends it to a Power BI streaming dataset.

Hi @webportal,
I think you can deploy a web service or local application to extract data from the remote datasource and send request to power bi service side with API mode:
