Microsoft Power BI

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Microsoft Power BI report, dashboard, dataset, and refresh data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Microsoft Power BI connector syncs your BI platform metadata into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull reports, dashboards, datasets, and refresh history from the Power BI REST API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Reports
  • Dashboards
  • Datasets
  • Refreshes

How it gets built

  1. Choose Microsoft Power BI when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Microsoft Power BI's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Microsoft Power BI itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0 (Azure AD/Entra ID). Register an Azure AD app and add Power BI Service delegated permissions, or enable a service principal for unattended access.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Microsoft Power BI connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Microsoft Power BI's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Microsoft Power BI data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Microsoft Power BI API documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
