Hi.
I need to use a REST API to retrieve data that should be visualized in PBI. As the resulting data from the REST depend on the input which I create in PBI I need to be able to do POST and GET on the REST API. As far as I see this does not seem to be possible in PBI. We are thinking of a solution which combines the useage of DAX language and Python. Prepare teh data request in DAX, hand over to Python, do the API call in Python and hand over the result to DAX again.
Is this useful? Does anyone has any experience with this? Thanks

@dolicd Power Query supports HTTP GET and POST commands via Web.Contents() calls (for POST specify a "content" payload).
You can use Power BI URL buttons too, but only for GET calls, and you can't process the returned data in DAX.
