Updating Power BI report file by python script without opening application

Hi guys,

I am new to Power BI and is there a way to update the data of existing Power BI report file by python without opening Power BI application.

The reason I am needed for this I am planning to automatically update the file that I got from server to the Power BI report file.

Since I want to update automatically, I want to run the update process from python script which will be set by windows task scheduler.

 

Thanks in advance.

You could install the Power BI Client for Jupyter from PyPI and find the open-sourced Python package and associate TypeScript widget on GitHub.

You’ll be able to export data from visuals in a Power BI report to the Jupyter notebook for in-depth data exploration. You can also filter the report for quick analysis or use bookmarks to apply a saved view.
