Noticed there is no option to consume rest api as data source while building powerapps.
Is it available and i am missing or is there in plan in near future
Custom APIs do not presently have what PowerApps considers 'tabular' capabilities. If you want this please up-vote here:

I have created a restful web api wth swagger enabled. I am able to create a connection with swagger document.
But in design mode after i set items source to specific get method and associate few properties to internal fields in design time and when trying to run in design time (https://us.preprod.create.powerapps.com/studio/?action=edit&source=portal&app-id=%2Fproviders%2FMicrosoft.PowerApps%2Fapps%2Fbd74311d-4043-2a8b-befc-5490d63cbd61), i see output is not getting rendered. But when i save my work and try to open over web link
(https://ms.web.powerapps.com/webplayer/app?source=portal&screenColor=RGBA(0%2c176%2c240%2c1)&appId=%2fproviders%2fMicrosoft.PowerApps%2fapps%2fbd74311d-4043-2a8b-befc-5490d63cbd61) it works rendering data.
I have attached relevant screenshots.
How can get it work in design time.
