Hello,

I would like to make a connection between my Store and Microsoft PowerBI. I want
to use PowerBI for more details about historical orders, items I have sold and
historical prices.

I have been told the API from Bricklink uses Oauth 1.0 and in PowerBI this is
not supported. From information on PowerBI forums I understand that a connection
with Oauth1.0 is possible. Unfortunately I haven't been able to connect Bricklink
and PowerBI jet.

Does anyone have experience setting up this connection? I would like to know
what I need to do to make it work. It will be great to hear from you!

Kind regards
Lauren

I have a working javascript example for PowerBI:

Made and tested together with another seller (Paul).

QFT. Using the Pentaho PDI tool. It could work. If you retrieve all data into
json-files locally and work with PowerBI on those json-files?

My total bad to the topic starter, this is indeed Pentaho PDI!

PowerBI doesn't support oAuth.

It looks like you will need a Data Connector.
