API Key set in Web.contents

I have an API that now needs an API key for authentication.  I have been trying all morning to get this to work but do not know where in the below I need to set the API Key, can anyone help please as I need to get my report back online as soon as possible?

 

jsonDoc= Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://**************/api/v1/***/****tory", [RelativePath="/?&start=" & Number.ToText(n)])),
result = jsonDoc[result],
records = result[records],
tmpTbl = Table.FromList(records, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)

 

Thanks

Hi @jdchipps ,

 

You may try codes like below.

 

jsonDoc= Json.Document(

Web.Contents(

"https://**************/api/v1/***/****tory", [RelativePath="/?&start=" & Number.ToText(n)], [ApiKeyName="APIToken"]) ),

result = jsonDoc[result],

records = result[records],

tmpTbl = Table.FromList(records, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)

Your relative path structure is slightly inaccurate.  But you can extend it as needed

 

jsonDoc= Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://**************/api/v1/***/****tory", [RelativePath="/?APIKey=" & key & "&start=" & Number.ToText(n)])),
