Do we need gateway for refreshing data from Web

Hello Anonymous ,  

We don't require gateway when the data sources are cloud (SharePoint Online, OneDrive). You just need to configure your credentials as shown in the following image.  

A gateway is required when we connect to Wikipedia from Power BI Desktop. I connected to Wikipedia and I am asked to install a gateway.  

WEB DataSource: OneDrive & SharePoint

If this was helpgul, kindly promote this as a solution.

Thanks,

Hi Anonymous ,

As I posted before, when the URL is of a Wikipedia page, it needs to configure a personal gateway / a enterprise gateway to refresh data in power bi service. When you have no gateway, power bi service will remind you to install. Without gateways, it will not refresh automatically because you could not configure a scheduled refresh for it.
