Data Refresh

[istduncan-cohp]

Is it possible to create a schedule for data refresh from REST API data source?  If so, how can this be done? And where can the credentials or token be stored?

The data source is now in the cloud, but is using an REST API.  I am using a token to grab the data.  I am having issue with scheduled refreshing.

Hi @istduncan-cohp 

Is  your data source from cloud , if it is in the cloud, you can set data credentials in dataset settings in Power BI Service for schedule refresh. 

For Power Bi service, the credentials  are stored in the dataset after you publish pbix from desktop

You can refer to the following link.
