    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Based on your description, there is a way to get around the Power BI limitation of not being able to perform anonymous authentication for Web data sources that require API keys by using Azure function proxies.

     

    To learn more details, see the following documentation:

    Best Regards,
    Henry
