Custom API keeps asking for authentication

nf_protogramma — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:07:04 GMT

I have an API using the following M query to implement an authentication using headers, api key & token.

let
// Define the API URL for data retrieval
apiUrl = "https://app.test.com/MyList",

// Define headers with x-api-key and x-token
headers = [
#"x-api-key" = "your_api_key_value",
#"x-token" = "your_token"
],

// Make the GET request with headers
response = Web.Contents(apiUrl, [Headers=headers]),
jsonResponse = Json.Document(response)
in
jsonResponse

And I want to authenticate anonimously because I user headers and I can not. It keeps asking for authentication. My API also connects with a username and password or with API key. But none of them seem to work. It always keep asking for authentication.

Any clue on the issue or hint for the approach?
Thank you.

Nick

Hi @nf_protogramma ,

Base on your description, it sounds like you're trying to make a web request in Power Query (M language) and encountering issues with the authentication prompt. Please try to set Anonymous authentication and check if it can resolve the problem:

Go to 'File' > 'Options and settings' > 'Data Source Settings'
Find the data source (your API URL) and select it
Click on 'Clear Permissions'
Try to reconnect and, when prompted, choose 'Anonymous' access

Best Regards
