External access to data sets in the data catalog

I'm currently working on a BI architecture for a customer, and consider to propose the Power BI data catalog as a data distribution layer. The customer will use Power BI, but also has other BI tools.

Are data sets in the data catalog available to other clients than Power Query alone? E.g. are there OData feed endpoints available? If not, what would be the best way to give other tools access to the data?

Michiel, are you still trying to get this figured out?

Thanks!

Well, I kind of figured out that this is not going to work because there's no service running the query. So it depends on a client able to execute a M script.

My conclusion is that for the time being, Power Query can be used only within the context of Power BI. Which I hope will change :-)

I don't think that's going to change.

Thanks!
