Paginated report - get data from API
Not from there, but to there. You use Power BI Desktop to declare the data source connections. Then you publish that pbix to the service where it becomes a dataset. Then you can set up the scheduled refresh (if needed) and you can consume the dataset from the rdl.
lbendlin Here is the whole picture. I have a .NET process (API) that generates images on demand. Report places a request: http://computername/..../endpointname. The endpoint can return either a Base64 string or decoded memory stream. Works fine in Browsers. If specify external source for image with expression http://computername/..../endpointname the endpoint gets hit but instead of an image I get red x. That is in the Builder. Published report shows this:
Unable to load image and no technical details available.
