Push data to Power BI directly using Azure Data Factory

Hi All,

 

I want to push data to power BI directly using Azure data factory. (No intermediate such as blob storage)

 

I have source as API which I will call in azure data factory to get the data and then push it to power BI directly.

 

Service principal is required to do so that is fine but which activity we can use in azure data factory to do so because firstly I have to authenticate the Source APIs in ADF and then authenticate power BI APIs using tenant ID,Service principal ID and Secret by getting OAuth token to call Power BI APIs.

My question is how to put together all of it.

 

There are example of refreshing the dataset but I need to take data from source and push it to Power BI.

 

Regards

mekaur
