include specific conditions that allow API calls to bypass MFA for power BI APi

have set up a Conditional Access policy to enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Power BI but want to exclude MFA for Power BI APIs,
can achieve this by adjusting your Conditional Access policy to include specific conditions that allow API calls to bypass MFA for Power BI APIs ?

Hi. I don't think you can authenticate with Power Bi Rest API using MFA. If all the accounts of the company are MFA, you should consider using a Service Principal. It's an app registered at azure that can get access wit ha Secret Value. Making sure the app is part of the workspace you need to check or operate, that should be enough.
I hope that helps,
