Why teams connect Microsoft Power Bi and Tinybird

Flow Microsoft Power Bi data into Tinybird in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Tinybird, so Tinybird always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Microsoft Power Bi is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Tinybird is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Workspaces, Reports, Dashboards, and Dataset metadata into a catalog database so teams discover Power BI content from a central index.
  • 02 Pull Dataflow and Datasource definitions to document lineage between Power BI and its upstream warehouses in a governance database.
  • 03 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • 04 Compute aggregates in Tinybird and write the results back to CRM fields for scoring and routing.

Common sync patterns

Where Tinybird holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Tinybird flow into Microsoft Power Bi as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

Where Microsoft Power Bi produces segments or scores: results back to the warehouse

Cohorts, segments, and computed metrics defined in Microsoft Power Bi write to Tinybird as tables the rest of the stack can query and join.

Shared user and account keys

Users and accounts tracked in Microsoft Power Bi line up with the customer or user rows in Tinybird on a stable key, so both sides count the same population.

What you can sync between Microsoft Power Bi and Tinybird

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Microsoft Power Bi objects Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Dataflows is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Workspaces to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Datasources and Gateways is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Tokens to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Refresh History is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Data Sources to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Workspaces (Groups) is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activity Events (Audit Log) Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Activity Events (Audit Log) is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and API Endpoints to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Access Workspace users and roles read via GET /groups/{id}/users or the admin scanner APIs; read for access reviews and identity reconciliation against an IdP. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Users and Access is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Materialized Views to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Power Bi and Tinybird

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Microsoft Power Bi Tinybird Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Tinybird as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Tinybird Microsoft Power Bi Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Tinybird records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Microsoft Power Bi and Tinybird connectors work

Microsoft Power Bi

Integration surface
Power BI REST API, including the Execute Queries (DAX) endpoint and admin scanner APIs; a read-write XMLA endpoint is available on Premium, Premium-Per-User, and Fabric capacity.
Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. Supports delegated user tokens and app-only service principals; service principals must be enabled under the tenant's Developer settings and granted workspace access. Tenant-wide admin reads require the Tenant.Read.All scope.
Change detection
Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture. Content is polled via REST list endpoints, dataset changes are inferred from Refresh History and the admin Activity Events audit log, and the scanner API's GetModifiedWorkspaces reports workspaces changed since a given time.
Capabilities
