Are you using Gen1 or Gen2 dataflows?

Thanks for the direction the problem I had was the authetication method.
mwoollen soloution below worked in the dataflow.
Not sure why but I had to use the token in the username and have a blank password for the refresh schedule to work which I though was odd.
let Username = "[your username]", Password = "[your password or TOKEN]", UserPass = Username & ":" & Password, Bytes = Text.ToBinary(UserPass), Base64_UserPass = Binary.ToText(Bytes, BinaryEncoding.Base64), TargetURL = "[target URL]", //TargetURL = "https://companyxyz.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/search", Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(TargetURL, [ Headers = [ #"Authorization" = "Basic " & Base64_UserPass, #"Content-Type" = "application/json" ] ] )) in SourceMany thanks

In this example Wonde Integration with Power BI using the API | Power BI for Schools it shows a function called 'fGetStudents' and a query to call the function. This works and brings the records back.
However, when editing the data flow the connection has to be set to 'Anonymouse' for the code to work.
But when refreshing the dataflow it says 'Error: Credentials not found for data source'

Make it work on the desktop and then see if you can transplant it to the dataflow.
