Connecting Semantic Model to Cloud Data Source via API
Thank you for your reply. I have been using the update datasource enpoints to update the username and password previously, but I can't find a way to list the "gateways" for the cloud data sources. I have tried the https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways endpoint and it returns an empty list. If I pull a semantic model which is already connected to the cloud datasource, the result does contain a gatewayId, but when I then try to get that gateway using https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways/{gatewayId}, I get a 404 result.
Same situation, did you find a solution?
Issues
If you have found a true bug or issue, you can make a post to the forum to let others know (and that would be very nice of you to do so). But if you want to get it fixed, you should post it in the Issues/Ideas (it varies) area of the community. Specifically, you should post it here:

Ideas
If you have a new idea for functionality or how something should work, you can certainly start a thread on the community to solicit feedback on your idea, but you should also post the idea in the ideas section of the website and solicit others to vote on your idea. The development teams use the Ideas area of the communities to build their development pipeline and a significant amount of weight is placed on Ideas that have lots of votes versus those that do not. The ideas areas of the communities are here:

PowerApps - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeasany update on this? We've exactly the same problem: it seems to be impossible to assign/set up a cloud connection to a semantic model through api.
