¿Puede PowerBI mostrar en un mapa desde un endpoint REST de ArcGIS?

Question

En este caso, estoy tratando de _no_ usar ArcGIS para PowerBI, ya que tengo usuarios que son simplemente Viewers, y ArcGIS Maps para PowerBI extrañamente requiere que los usuarios tengan el rol de Creator, incluso si todo lo que quieren hacer es ver servicios. <\/P> Así que tengo curiosidad sobre cómo / si es posible proporcionar a un usuario un endpoint REST para un servicio de entidades de punto, polígono o línea (por ejemplo, https:\/\/mygis.domain.com\/arcgis\/rest\/services\/demopolygon\/MapServer\/0\/query<\/A>), y conectar eso a un mapa de PowerBI (la herramienta bing map). <\/P>Soy completamente nuevo en PowerBI aquí, así que si hay alguna documentación o paso a paso esto sería genial. <\/P> Si esto no es posible, entonces ¿por qué un usuario necesita un rol Creator para poder solo ver<\/EM> capas?!?!<\/P>

Hi @Jay_Gregory  - I am working on the same thing. We don't even care about the map component, just using the underlying data. This article is really good at stepping you through the process - https://resource.esriuk.com/blog/how-to-use-arcgis-with-power-bi/

Though I have come across several issues so far including date/time formatting, how to pass credentials for secured data, and having to publish services that allow for over 2000 records to be queried at once. If you have found a better way please let me know!

Yes it is basically pulling in the JSON result of your REST query.

In the PBI query Editor, put something like the following for the source and followed with some data transformation steps:

=Json.Document(Web.Contents("ArcGIS Rest Query here"))

The ESRIJSON part will be a little tricky to deal with, but it's doable.

To avoid the license issue for the viewers, your content needs to be shared with everyone in AGOL or Enterprise.

Even if users do use Maps for Power BI (with Creator license), they need to a) display some data (drag lat / long fields from power bi to get any map to show) b) still no way to pull in an arbitrary REST endpoint.  It would need to be added as an item in Portal or Online for a PowerBI user to be able to see in it Maps for PowerBI.
