What all a developer can do by using API for the Power BI service?

What all a developer can do by using API for the Power BI service.


We have several developers in our company who plan to create custom solutions that will interact with the API for the Power BI service.

Which 3 operations can the developers achieve by using the API?

1. Retrieve rows from a dataset
2. Create a dataset
3. Add rows to a dataset
4. Refresh an imported dataset
5. Add a member to a row-level security role

 

One place found that ans is 123 but seems like it is not correct.

3 is correct and then 4 is right I think

Please help here.

Hi @Anonymous 

1. Retrieve rows from a dataset
2. Create a dataset
3. Add rows to a dataset
4. Refresh an imported dataset
5. Add a member to a row-level security role

 

You have find the proper to do 3 and 4, right?

 

As for 1,

Get data from Power bi using REST API (not meta-data)

 

For 2, refer to this link:

For 5
