Unable to Configure API with Bearer token from DataFlow
- 1 year ago
Hi hameed4ru ,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Fabric Community.
To call an API with a Bearer Token from Dataflow Gen2, follow these steps:
- Open Dataflow Gen2 and select Blank Query under Get Data.
- Insert M query.
For instance here is an example query :let
URL = "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token",
Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],
Body = "{""client_id"": ""InsertYourClientIDHere"", ""client_secret"": ""InsertYourClientSecretHere"", ""grant_type"": ""refresh_token"", ""refresh_token"": ""InsertYourRefreshTokenHere""}",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL, [Headers = Headers, Content = Text.ToBinary(Body)])),
#"Converted to table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
#"Filtered rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Converted to table", each ([Name] = "access_token")),
#"Drill down" = #"Filtered rows"{0}[Value]
in
#"Drill down"
This retrieves an access token, which you can use in subsequent API calls.
