Power BI will do a POST if you pass provide Content to the Web.Content call

When you select, "Show details" when adding to the gateway, what does it show?

Also, if you are only using web service calls, you shouldn't have to set up the gateway

 

It would be nice to see your M code for the query, it may help in troubleshooting

HI,

 

thx 4 the reply. Yep I do send the Content. And it makes a POST call from Desktop, that's fine. The problem is, that I cannot set the Web source in PowerBI service as a POST call. It always send the request against the Web source as a GET request and this results a 404 error, so i was not able to configure the gateway.

I used the gateway to the webservice, because i was not sure, whether our company policy allows to publish that webservice to the internet (which was available only in the intranet before).

After several discussion the webserivice was made available to the internet as well and i could get rid of the gateway.
