Hi jonjoseph 

 

Currently there is a way to export data from your Power BI dataset from the Power BI Service. There are limitations as shown below.

Unlocking new self-service BI scenarios with ExecuteQueries support in Power Automate | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

 

Power BI Embedded is when you want to embed your Power BI reports into another application. It does not provide a way to create an API to extract data.

 

If you are looking to simply extract data via an API unfortunately Power BI I feel is not the right solution.

Hi GilbertQ 

Fair enough, I don't have any cloud experience as we are now only starting to establish a presence. 

As it seems like a fairly standard use case scenario, do you know how I can leverage the cloud to achieve this?

Thanks
