But while refreshing the data gets overwritten and the past data gets lost.
Please share any solution.

Hi. The problem is that Power Bi is a tool for reading data. If you need to storage data from an api I suggest looking at azure services in order to build a process that takes data and storage it. You can use DataFactory or Azure Functions to read the api and then insert it in a lake gen2 or a database. That way you will save your own historical data that will be consumed by Power Bi later.

Happy to help!
