Using Power BI REST API

[Rashmi]

Hi,

I need clarifications for the below points.

1. Is it mandatory to buy the Power BI pro license inorder to use Power BI REST API?

2. Can I refresh Power BI report data using REST API?

1. No, but there's REST API limitation for free users. See Power BI REST API limitations.

2. Yes. Check Refresh dataset. Do note that there's typo in the API, use

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/refreshes

Hi,

Could you please tell me where should I put "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/refreshes" in? In query?

Thanks
