    Thanks.. 

     

    However, I ended up with a workaround, using Power Query and a job scheduler to get the result from the API provider on a daily basis nad then using that result as input to power bi.

Hi Anonymous,

 

About power bi service refresh, you can take a look at below article to know more about them:

Power BI Security

 

Based on document, I don't think it will use the static ip. So it is hard to achieve your requirement. In addition, you can contact to power bi team for further support.
