If using Azure DevOps for deployment, in addition to using BindToGateway API, you would want to use a service account (an Azure 360 account and NOT Service Principal) that is a user on the gateway for bind and refresh to work. You need bearer token of that account to be able to accomplish the steps. This is because ServicePrincipals can not be added to powerbi gateways.
Copy below snippet to a PS file and pass in required parameters to bind gateway and refresh dataset. clientId is the Azure ServicePrincipal associated with your PowerBi workspace and pbiUserName is the sevice account that's a user on the gateway. Hope this helps!
