Gateway requested for non premise data

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have published a few workbooks online and they all keep failing to refresh because they need a gateway but all of my data are on cloud so I am very confused.

My data sources are 3 API's and Snowflake.

Any help will be much appreciated 🙂

There are services that can be directly connected and other that can't. It will also depend if you have only one cloud source or a mix with onpremise data. For example, database in Azure it depends if you are talking about a service or a VM hosting the server. The VM will request a Gateway because it's not a cloud service. It's a machine hosting a server. Consuming Power BI Rest API itself doesn't need the gateway it depends on the datasource. What datasources does the 3 api connected to?

@Anonymous : Can you confirm that you are using "Power BI Service" and not the "Report Server"?  . In Power BI service , routing the cloud data source thorough 'gate way' server is optional if you want to have better control. Gateway server is not mandatory for clould based sources.

I am using the the reporting server where i have published all my reports.I enabled Snowflake SSO  and i thought that will sort the issue but it still asking me for gateway and has disabled the online option.
