Best Practices for Connecting JSON:API to BI Tools?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a project that uses JSON:API to serve structured data from our backend, and it’s been great for keeping things standardized and clean. Now, my team wants to use that same data for reporting and visualization, and we’re exploring different BI tools.

One question I have is: what’s the best way to connect JSON:API-based data to platforms like Power BI? Has anyone here set up something similar? I know Power BI supports REST APIs, but I’m wondering how well it plays with JSON:API specifically.

While researching this, I also came across an article explaining Power BI architecture, and it gave me a better understanding of how data flows from source to dashboard. But I’d still love real-world input from developers who’ve connected APIs like ours to BI tools.

Are there middleware tools or patterns that help bridge this gap? I’d appreciate any guidance or examples!

Thanks in advance,
J Mathew
