Hi shuhn1229 ,
Please try concatenate the type of authorization (e.g., "Basic") with the parameter that contains your password or token.let Var1 = "YourPasswordOrTokenHere", // Replace with your actual password or token AuthorizationHeader = "Basic " & Var1, url = "https://url.com", body = "{""id"": ""0001"", ""variables"": {""variable"": ""001""}}", Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [ Headers = [#"Authorization"=AuthorizationHeader, #"Content-Type"="application/json"], Content = Text.ToBinary(body) ])) in SourcePlease note that if you're using Bearer token authentication, the header should be prefixed with "Bearer" instead of "Basic".
Best Regards,
Gao
