Schedule data refresh with excel sheet build off Python API script

Basically, I wrote a Python script which is pulling from three different APIs, cleaning all of the data, and exporting them as three sheets in a single excel file. I don't see any link to the original API sources I used in Power BI or excel, is there a way I can schedule data refreshing given my system?

Hi @BigMode ,

 Yes, you can do a scheduled refresh of the published report without a gateway if you put the excel file into OneDrive or SharePoint Online.

 

You will need to change the source of your data from excel to web query.

 

Here is how to do it:
