Hi @Kfabric ,

I have found a similar post, please refer to.

Solved: Paginated report - get data from API - Microsoft Fabric Community

You use Power BI Desktop to declare the data source connections. Then you publish that pbix to the service where it becomes a dataset.  Then you can set up the scheduled refresh (if needed) and you can consume the dataset from the rdl.
