API connection, Credentials invalid

[strdst2090]

I am trying to connect to a platform called One Trust using an API Key. This is exactly what it looks like in the query editor - 

let
Source = Web.Contents("https://app-uk.onetrust.com/api/inventory/v2/inventories/vendors/", [ApiKeyName=api_key])
in
Source

In the authentication window, when I enter the API key, and hit Connect, I get the following error - 'We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided'.

Where exactly am I going wrong?

I got the same issue, watched plenty of videos and read the doc. this should work...

You need to provide the actual API key, either in the URL, the payload or in the header.  

Web.Contents - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Docs

Based on the link you've shared, I am using the format shown in Example 3 and I am passing the API key alongwith. 

//Web.Contents("https://contoso.com/api/customers/get", [ApiKeyName="api_key"])// - This is the format I use and I use the actual API key where it says api_key.

ApiKeyName has a different purpose. Please read the documentation again.
