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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 🙂
