      hi, i am sorry i did not find a solution for this problem but i proceeded otherwise to resolve it. indeed I used an etl (talend) to establish the connection with Centreon and to import the necessary data into my data warehouse to then retrieve them on power bi. I hope it can help you.

      Good luck

    In case you still needed an answer for this...the following worked for me

     

    let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("{add URL here}", [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", #"X-ApiToken"="{add token here}"]])),
