Pulling in a web source that prompts for zip code
Anonymous once you enter the zip code it probably adds that a query parameter in the URL, can you get that URL from the browser and then use that as a starting point, concatenate the zip code from Power BI in the URL, and pull the data.

Thanks parry2k -- I'm not sure if that's what's happening. Here's an example of a site where you're prompted for state and the URL does change once you've chosen a state: https://www.usbank.com/home-loans/mortgage/mortgage-rates.html
My source is more like this where the URL doesn't change (and concatenating the zip at the end doesn't load the page successfully): https://www.bankofamerica.com/deposits/bank-cds/cd-accounts/
I'm not super savvy with web so sorry if I'm misunderstanding or overlooking something simple!
