Connecting to LoopBack API using Access Token

I am trying to connect with LoopBack API. I am able to connect while putting the URL and appending the Access Token with the URL. But this Access Token will expires in every 14 days and generates a new access token. My Question is how my power bi report will able to update the access token automatically?

    Hi KoustavPurkiat,

     

    How does the Loopback API generate an access token? Are there any other authentication methods? 

     

    Best Regards,

      Hi Dale,

       

      What I have understood that 'Access Token' is getting generated from REST API wher eauthentication is given only bearer Token.

        Hi KoustavPurkiat,

         

        Firstly, are we talking about this loopback API?

        Secondly, the "Access Token" should be generated by the Loopback API. It could be something we can't do in Power BI. Am I right?
