Microsoft Power BI Overview#

The Microsoft Power BI API allows you to interact with your Power BI assets programmatically. With this API, you can embed your reports and dashboards into applications, manage Power BI datasets, push data into datasets for real-time dashboard updates, and automate your reporting workflows. On Pipedream, you can use this API to create intricate workflows that react to various triggers, like webhooks or schedules, and perform actions like refreshing datasets, posting to datasets, and managing Power BI assets.

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
