API Online Refresh - Cannot Connect

Hi all,

 

Ive managed to create a report that runs from an API online, it is a ticketing system called fresh desk - Power BI is just making the data more manageable and visually clear. 

 

Anyway - the problem I have is that I can refresh within the desktop but when I upload to the PBI Service I cant refresh. Ive read up a lot on this and things to do with dynamic data sources ect. However I have also seen someone manage to do this by making the url a text string first and then manually create the table. 

Can someone look at my code and decide whether it is possible for me? I don't have much knowledge of this area.

Thank you,

 

Jack

    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),

@Jackbaz99 , what is the issue it is giving it on power bi service?  Have updated datasource details under the data source setting and they are not working?

Hi @amitchandak the error when on the PBI service is 

 

You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:
