Dataset refresh with python API

I have a dataset that is comprised of an Excel file on my local machine and a python script in Power Query that scrapes a website through an API call.  I have published this to the service and configured a personal gateway which is working fine but limits me to the 8 refreshes a day I believe.  I would like to retrieve the data from the website in real time or allow users of the dashboard to refresh the dashboard to refresh the python script.  Is this possible or am I limited to my 8 refreshes and / or manual refreshes? 

 

Thank you!

Hi @gachillies ,

 

The maximum number of automatic refreshes of Power BI Pro license is 8 times per day. For Power BI Premium this number will raised to 48 per day. Manual refresh does not have this limitation.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

You would have to upgrade to Premium or Premium Per User to get unlimited API refreshes.
