This might look like a silly question for you, but how did you actually enter the API key and Value as a header?

 

I have this API from an Azure app service secured by Azure Active Directory, and I generated a key (client secret) from there.  I am struggling to put that key into the request header when creating a Power BI report (Get Data from Web).  I cannot find the API key name.  I mean I got the actual API key but i do not have the API key name or can't seem to find it.

What kind of authentication does your app allow?

    Hi ImkeF,

     

    The .NET api itself, I created it without authentication, so at most, it is just anonymous authentication.  

     

    The actual authentication (Authentication/Authorization), I set it up in Azure when I published and registered my api there. The provider I set is Azure Active Directory.  The registration allows you to generate a key for API access.  This key I put as client secret for my api.
