Odata Feed for Power BI

Post by connollyp »

Hi
We're trying to connect Power BI to Bullhorn but need a an OData feed URL. We have a free trial with Cdata at the moment but is is possible to create our own feed or find one that is free?
Thanks!

I think there is a free trial with CData, you can use their ODBC driver to create OData feeds. This is usually the easiest method as CData provides the tools needed to connect Bullhorn to Power BI without having to create your own feed from scratch.

While it's technically possible to create your own OData feed for Bullhorn, it would require significant development effort and expertise. You'd need to:

Build a RESTful API for Bullhorn that exposes the data you want to access in a standardized format.
Integrate OData into your API to provide query capabilities and support standard OData operations.
Set up authentication mechanisms to ensure secure access to your OData feed.

You can leverage Bullhorn's REST API to create a custom OData feed. Then host the middleware on a server or in the cloud and provide an endpoint for Power BI to connect to. This will give you control over your data without any costs.

You can try using CData to create OData feeds, very convenient! If needed, consider using Bullhorn API to create a free feed yourself! 8)

Make sure that CData will properly refresh the BhRestToken.
