By means of interactive dashboards and reports, Power BI has evolved into a potent business intelligence (BI) solution helping companies to transform unprocessable data into valuable insights. Power BI's ability to connect with real-time data sources is a big benefit since it lets companies base their judgments on the most recent data. Real-time data synchronizing is fundamental in dynamic reporting and analytics; especially in sectors where timely insights promote operational efficiency, customer happiness, and competitive advantage. Firm performance in financial transactions, IoT sensor data, live inventory control, or elsewhere can be much impacted by quick data refreshing. Real-time data changes enabled by programmatic interactions with Power BI datasets, reports, and dashboards depend totally on the Power BI REST API. Companies may promise faultless data syncing by automating data refresh procedures, straight inserting fresh data inputs into Power BI, and using the API to schedule updates in response to outside events. A case study demonstrating the actual Power BI REST API usage for live data updates will be provided in this paper. Overcoming obstacles including authentication, API rate constraints, and data input complexity, the case study will explain how a company effectively combined real-time data flows into Power BI. Eventually, real-time syncing throughout the Power BI REST API gives companies access to current data, therefore improving operational efficiency and decision-making capability. Organizations may build more agile and data-driven initiatives and hence improve business outcomes by automating data changes and smoothly linking with real-world data sources
