Streaming dataset - Can I pull instead of push?

I have a json feed that is always running and I'd like to create a streaming report that requires no code within that feed that requires a push to the PBI streaming URL.  Is it possible to simply enter the stream URL and pull data rather than be pushed to?

Need Help

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Actually, the normal dataset is some kind of pull dataset. I think you can create such a dataset. But it won't be a streaming dataset. The Steaming dataset is usually used in the real-time scenario. So push could be the best choice. 

    In the push scenario, the Service receives data and shows it up. It could be close to real-time. 

    In the pull scenario, how long should the Service send a pull request? This could waste the resources.

      I suppose you could provide some json parameters and polling frequency ideally.  Assume that's not on the roadmap at this point?

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        I would suggest you create an idea here.
