Do we need gateway for refreshing data from Web

Hi Folks, I have extracted data from a web URL into a Power BI desktop file and published this report on Power BI Service. Can anyone of you tell me if I will need a gateway to schedule auto-refresh...

    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,  

    Renu KS.

    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.

Hello Greetings for the Day.

 

When the data Source is Cloud  Never think about Gateway.

 

One drive or Share Point files  within the same user and same domain can be easily set for Refresh 

But files from different User Id even within the same domain should be considered as Oauth and Basic ..

It will Work on Oauth Check & revert if u want any Assistance further
