Web access to API not working

JohNWMCC — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 06:19:06 GMT

Hey Folks,

quick one. I've been connecting to an API and pulling the data into Power BI. I connect via the get data from web option and setting it up like this:

Config for connecting the API

It's been working fine and have managed to connect multiple tables to it until yesterday.

Now I get this error,

Error result

I'm keen for any suggestions.

I'm running power BI desktop Version: 2.106.582.0 64-bit (June 2022)

Hi @JohNWMCC,

Did any update on your API server-side affect the current data connections?
In addition, you can also try to add the 'relativepath' option in your data connector if the authorization is worked on the root path.
