Can anyone share their actual experience connecting via the REST API? Our OS admin has never gotten response from OneStream about when a PowerBI connector will be available meaning I might be forced to go this route. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any direct experience implementing it and if they ran into any problems with the API documentation they wished they'd have known before starting. A connection is a must-have for me so I'm hoping someone can set my expectations about what it involves.
Is this a "write a blank check to a 3rd party consultant and pray" type project or does it work fairly well as documented?
I have the same issue. I don't believe it's really being used; it's just a wish and a hope. Its been talked about for too long
I don't know if anyone on this thread got an actual answer, but yes it is possible to connect PowerBI to Onestream. There are several different options and considerations based on the use case, which is probably why there's no 1 answer (there rarely is) on how to successfully achieve it. We have several different clients who we have helped do this, using different approaches so it really does "just depend". It also depends heavily on how much technical expertise someone has at the client as most typical finance users won't know how to do this in a productionized fashion with no errors/issues.
