API Token security

[Mekaur]

Hi All,

We have one requirement in which we need to access the APIs to get data into Power BI and token is required to refresh the data.

We want to secure that token in some way.

Can you please help me how best we can secure the token?

Hi @Mekaur,

You can consider moving these get API token methods into your query table steps, it should better than get token external and input in your query table with query parameters.
