Helper IDataflows - Web API - authentication
If you have it working through Desktop, you can create a Dataflow from Blank Query and copy/paste your M code from the Advanced Editor in Desktop. Have you tried that?

Daz4Hey Stephen, sorry for the delayed response, but this didnt help. I cant see anywhere in the options for setting up a dataflow to put the correct api authentication, and that document seems more focused on power query. Any other ideas? As I said, I can acess other aapis fine, and can access this one via Power BI desktop, just not through Dataflows.
