# Power BI

> Microsoft Power BI is a business analytics service that delivers interactive visualizations and business intelligence with an interface simple enough for end users to build their own reports and dashboards. Its developer surface centers on the Power BI REST API (workspaces, datasets, reports, dashboards, embedding, admin/governance) authenticated with Azure Active Directory OAuth 2.0.
