Store a Rest API in Power BI

Hello, 

 

I'm a debutant in power BI. I have an API that is completely independent from power bi and gives me new information every 10 minutes without storing it. I would like to use power bi to read and store the information (add new lines to each column every 10 min), in a database. I've succeeded in reading the information with power bi, but every 10 min I have new data and I loose the previous information I had. 

 

Can you help me building the databse that will store the information given every 10 min ?

I think this may be of value for you.  It's a roundabout way of doing it but it works.  Please see what this person came up with to do what you are looking for.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for this link. I now have a new table with the union of a "not refreshed" table & a table that refreshes every 10min "refresh table". The  problem is : when this new table refreshes, instead of adding new lines from the "refresh table", it changes the new table content. @luisrh
