Cannot import excel file using api

Today is 8102 year, and power bi still cannot import excel file using api?

 

I have found some related message but none of them gives a solution.

I'm tring to do the following:

 

POST /v1.0/myorg/imports?datasetDisplayName=WowS HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Authorization: Bearer ...
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW

------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filePath"; filename="runDataDemo.xlsx"
Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet


------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--

Importing a  .pbix file succeed.

 

So honestly, does power bi API supports import excel file?
