Greetings,
Can we create a dataset from a WEB/API data source using the Power BI rest APIs?
The Data source API requires token authentication to get the data.
From the Power BI desktop, we are able to get this API data using the power query, want to confirm if same can be achieved from the Power bi rest APIs ( create Datasource / Push data set APIs).
If it is possible, can you share a sample for reference? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Shalini

How to use the Rest API to create a push dataset?
Hi @shalini-ms ,
Regarding the Dataset in the rest api, you can only go to get or change, but not to create.

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
The Power BI REST API is designed to interact with the Power BI Service. You can use OAUTH2 or AAD. If your API endpoint is different then you need to use whatever auth mechanism it requires.
Please provide more details, documentation for the API etc.
