I am running a local REST API from a Flask Python script.
One of the endpoints is called /all_data that loads a list of json events.
The API is running on, let's say, http://127.0.0.1:8000 on the browser.
I would like to know, whether is it possible or not, in PowerBI Service (in Desktop as well), to import the data fetched by the endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000/all_data/ to build a reporting Dashboard?
