Passing parameters from Power BI to Rest API

I have a requirement where I have to pass parameter(dataset or row) from Power BI to Rest API.  I have gone through enough blogs, I haven't found anything helpful. Can anyone tell me if this is possible in Power BI ? 

 

Thanks in Advance !

    What do you mean when you say "dataset"  ?

    What "row" - physical table row or the current filter context?

     

    Generally Power BI cannot write data back. There are a few exceptions like the PowerApps visual, or abusing Direct Query connections, or abusing Power Query, or abusing R/Python scripts.  None of these are user friendly.

      Hey! Thank you for replying.

       

      By "Dataset" I mean passing an entire table to REST API and getting back a value calculated for each row of the table.

      By "Row" I mean physical table row.

       

      Does Abusing Direct Query connection / Python Scripts etc allow us to pass parameters to REST API ?
