REST API as a data source?

No idea how to add an RESTful API data source. I am aware of other threads on this forum explainig this, but it seems it was an other version of Power BI.

 

Currenlty, my data import screen is here:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/getdata

 

So, where should I go next?

If I understand this correclty, in general, you would use the Web or Odata feed or JSON or XML connector for this depending on the data coming from the API. There are additional options for a live streaming API. What kind of data source do you have?
