Add Power BI URLs to your allow list
- 4 minutes to read
The Power BI service requires connectivity to the internet. The endpoints listed in the tables in this article should be reachable for customers using the Power BI service.
To use the Power BI service, you must be able to connect to the endpoints marked required in the tables below, and to any endpoints marked required on the linked sites. If the link to an external site refers to a specific section, you only need to review the endpoints in that section.
Endpoints marked optional may also be added to allow lists for specific functionality to work.
The Power BI service requires only TCP Port 443 to be opened for the listed endpoints.
Wildcards (*) represent all levels under the root domain, and we use N/A when information isn't available. The Destination(s) column lists domain names and links to external sites, which contain further endpoint information.
