With the help of Slidescope’s Data Engineering team we have prepared sample JSON API
π https://coursetraining.in/jsonstore/data.php?s=orders
You can connect Power BI to this live JSON data in just a few steps.
β Steps to Load Live JSON from URL in Power BI
π§ In Power BI Desktop:
- Open Power BI Desktop
- Click on Home > Get Data > Web
- In the popup:
- Choose Basic
- Enter the URL:
https://coursetraining.in/data.php?s=orders - Click OK
- Power BI will fetch and recognize the JSON structure
- It will show something like:
List Record TableClick on “To Table” if needed, and expand columns using the expand icon (‡οΈ) in the header. - Rename and clean columns as needed
- Click Close & Apply to load into your Power BI report
π To Load people and returns
Repeat the same process using:
https://coursetraining.in/data.php?s=peoplehttps://coursetraining.in/data.php?s=returns
π‘ Pro Tip: In the Power Query Editor, you can rename these queries as Orders, People, and Returns.
π Refresh Behavior
- Power BI will refresh data from the live URL each time you click “Refresh”
- To auto-refresh every X minutes, youβll need Power BI Service + gateway setup (for online reports)
β οΈ Make Sure:
- Your server has CORS enabled if you’re calling this in Power BI Online (optional but ideal for service refresh).
- The URL is publicly accessible without login or tokens.
