Love your guys show, always cutting to the more important topics to pay attention to. Jason, you mentioned the data refresh failures and the Power BI REST API is what provides access to the dataset and dataflow refreshes under the Get Refresh History (datasets) and Get Dataflow Transactions (data flows) methods – not sure why they aren’t named the same. I’ve done just that at my client and also making use of Miguel Escobar’s Power BI REST API custom connector.
