How to use TEMPO's REST API to connect with Power BI?

[Saurabh Chaudhary]

Hi folks,

I am trying to connect to Power BI through the Tempo cloud  REST API. I am struggling to go ahead as I dont know what URL to use to get this started. Can anyone please share the steps on how to get this done?

Thanks,

Saurabh

Hi @Saurabh Chaudhary

All currently available Tempo Cloud REST APIs start with "https://api.tempo.io/4...". 
The authentication for these REST calls needs to be done with an access token. 

Please take a look at https://apidocs.tempo.io/#section/Authentication for more information about the authentication. 

Best regards,

Hi @Saurabh Chaudhary 

Another option is use an app from the Atlassian marketplace.

We use this to export dat from Jira and Tempo to be used within PowerBI dashboards.

App we are using: Power BI Connector for Jira

Hello @Saurabh Chaudhary 

The URL to use to get this started is https://apidocs.tempo.io/

The steps to get this done are:

1. Open a web browser
2. Type that URL into the URL section of the web browser
3. Hit the enter key

Have fun.

Thanks mate! This much is all I knew! :D 

I meant to ask what URL is to be used in Power BI, this is what I am unable to provide correctly:

[David Bakkers]

Oh, you mean the specific URL to a specific endpoint in the Tempo REST API.

Well, the answer to that is.... it could be any one of the hundreds of possible endpoints provided by that API, depending on what data you want to get from Tempo.

To know which specific endpoint, and therefore what the specific URL is to it, you will need to start with reading the Tempo REST API documentation first, as @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ has advised.

Have fun.
