Schedule refresh for data from Web Source

[sayali_deshmukh]

Hi,

Used following -

Web.BrowserContents("https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/")

When published to Web Service, scheduled refersh option is unavailable.

Is there any other way to get data from web source so as to be able to set scheduled refresh?

Hi @v-xicai 
My data sources contain only cloud data sources -

Still, it requires a Gateway to use scheduled refresh.

Looking for a way avoid using a gateway.

Hi @sayali_deshmukh ,

If your dataset contains not only Cloud data source but also the on premise data source, then it needs to use the gateway , then you can use manual refresh or schedule refresh to get updated data. See more: On-premises data gateway , Configure scheduled refresh . That means the Web data source also need to be add to the Data source Settings of Manage Gateway.

Note that you also need to select Allow user's cloud data sources to refresh through this gateway cluster option Under Gateway Cluster Settings. See: Merge or append on-premises and cloud data sources.

Hi @Greg_Deckler 

Looking for way without having to set up the gateway connection as system would need to powered on for the refresh.
