REST API access to READ datasets

Pretty self explanatory - would be great to be able to stream a dataset, or grab a specified number of rows. This would also require the ability to query the # of rows, size of dataset etc, column types etc. somewhat related to this feature request: https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/7059563-create-a-part-download-of-datasets

This feature is extremely important, and like other people I was shocked to find out that I can't connect to PowerBI dataset suing Oauth token from javascript API or .Net client to read the data from it using DAX. If Excel and PowerBI desktop can connect to any powerBI dataset it should be very easy to allow any client to connect to it and query it.

This is pretty important, if you want to embed PowerBI numbers in your presentation or somewhere else.

Once you have processed data in the integrated model from different sources, for instance, to elaborate KPIs, it would be very desirable to access Power BI Service to get them through a REST API.

Please add this functionality, being able to have a sturdy data model in Power BI is amazing but not being able to use the data to make complementary processes is such a huge disadvantage.

I am flabbergasted that this is not a feature! who wouldn't want to retrieve data that has been massaged and filtered in a nice report programmatically via the API to use? I mean, seriously?

How on earth is this still not possible. Pulling data via API seems like the very first thing you would ever want to do.

How on earth is this still not possible? Really? What the reason? We really thinking about moving forward from Power BI. Read datasets are MUST !!! Please implement it ASAP!!!!

Please make this feature available a.s.a.p. so that we need not create a separate REST API just for fetching the same data from a different source. This will make the lives of developers and architects a little less complicated.

I'm shocked that it's not possible to read a dataset in he REST-api! You have to fix this ASAP!
