Restful API to PowerBI

Hi solidsoulja,

In order to be able to supply an “Api Key” via the credential UI, the Power Query with Web.Contents() function has to look like this:

Web.Contents(URL, [ApiKeyName="mykey"])

You can take a look at this blog: Working with Web Services in Power Query.

Hi,

I am not a developer so I am looking for very basic information on how to connect a rest API to power BI. 

I have been given an API key from a company that work with us to provide web tracking information, i want that information to be visible within power BI. 

Could someone please guide me through the steps of achieving this? when I enter a URL uinto the web data source and use the key provided, I get "the credentials provided are invalid"

any help would be appreciated.
