Power BI REST API Data Connector

The WireBootstrap for Power BI solution starts with a WireBootstrap data connector that can talk to Power BI using the Power BI REST APIs. The WireBootstrap for Power BI REST API Data Connector allows lists of meta data such as dashboards and reports to be displayed inside WireBootstrap components other page elements with minimal configuration.

The data connector also serves data to WireBootstrap for Power BI embed components.

Tile Component

These visualizations can then be used as independent WireBootstrap components in custom web applications that listen for data changes on a page.
