Authentication Types and Limitations for Scheduled Refresh in Report Server

[BI_Analyticz]

I am using Report Server. Once I build the dashboards connecting to data via APIs. Do we have any limitations for scheduling auto refresh for different authentication types in Report Server?

I mean is automatic scheduled refresh possible in report server if the data comes through API when for the authentication types such as Anonymous, Basic, Web API, OAuth ?

Hi @BI_Analyticz ,

What authentication method do you use when you connect to the Rest API? Is it Bearer Authentication?

So when you update the data source credential and configure the scheduled refresh, you can't find this authentication method?
