Instead of refreshing a dataset based on a schedule, I would like to trigger running a refresh on demand. A REST API that I could use to get the history of refreshes, current status of refresh, and start a refresh would be helpful.

- This seems an absolute need in order to coordinate with ETL processes against the datasource. Unless they want to at least add SSIS tasks for Power BI
- I agree for the same reason as Anonymouw
- This Post seems to be the same (https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/268152-developer-apis/suggestions/7851153-auto-refresh-trigger-data-refresh) and the Votes should be aggregated together. I think this is very important.
- In corporate environnent triggering data refresh based on a corporate scheduler would be a must-do. And even more for powerbi used onprem in SSRS
- This feature is a must, as it is important in few of the cases to sequentialize your ETL runs and the power bi dataset refreshment
- Would be an excellent feature addition, we end up updating much later than we could because of the inability to link our ETL to the refresh.
- This feature will be a great addition and will help generating real-time reports on data. scheduled refresh (8 times a day) does not give an insight of Data through out the day in real time. Will be a lot more helpful if refreshes can be made via API calls
- Must have
- This would help immensely as we can then trigger a dashboard refresh once all the SQL Server Agent jobs have finished running.
- Is there another item like this that is getting MS attention. To me this is a huge miss from enterprise perspective.
