Can I link Power BI with my local SQL database

[babarkhurshid]

Dear Support,

My client has emailed me to see if we can link our system/database with Power BI as they want to use this for dashboard stuff. Our system/database is locally hosted. Database cannot be accessed using IP etc but websystem is live which they are accessing using URL. A simple system. 

Please can you provie me help how can I link Power BI with my system. Will it be using RESET API or any other method? Our database is not on cloud/Azure. 

Is it possible to link Power BI with my system? And if yes then how?

Kind Regards

Babar
