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.

Action Code#

import powerBi from "../../microsoft_power_bi.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "microsoft_power_bi-refresh-dataset",
  name: "Refresh Dataset",
  description: "Triggers a refresh operation for a specified Power BI dataset. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refresh-dataset)",

    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.powerBi.refreshDataset({
      $,
      datasetId: this.datasetId,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully triggered a refresh for dataset (ID ${this.datasetId})`);
    return response;

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Microsoft Power BI API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
