Hi nnosaj. I'm fairly new at API calls and its been awhile since I worked on this project. I ended up writing a POST request in the Advanced Editor. Check this forum discussion between ImkeF and myself. Might have some insights. 

Good luck!

Thank you, ericOnline! Yes, I might have to try the Advanced Editor.   I find the UI is not as simple to use as it looks, when it comes to particular cases like this.

    Silly me, actually ericOnline's solution above worked for me as well.  It seems there is currently no direct way to use Azure AD as authentication via the UI.  I opted to use API key authentication, but did it the wrong way.  So i modified my api to have a custom request header passing the API key, and applied the steps above in my Power BI report.
