Power BI API based dataset consumption

Hi all,

 

Is there any Power BI API that lets one access the "content" of the datasets/dataflows already hosted on the service? I found this but it gives metadata about a particular dataset using the dataset id. Can someone kindly help me out?

  • Hi Anonymous,

    If you need access to the metadata of datasets, you can use the scanner APIs:
    Scanner APIs 
    Scanner APIs Doc

    If you need access to the actual dataset data you can use this API: Execute Queries

    You can get the content of a dataflow using this API: Get Dataflow 

    In case it answered your question please mark this as a solution for community visibility. Appreciate Your Kudos 🙂
