Connect API JWT

Dear PowerBi community


I have the following problem. My experience in API's is quite devil.

My current problem is how can I connect JWT API's through PowerBi.

I have the following data;

(The documentation of API usage--> https://automation.trendmicro.com/apex-central/api )

 

Application name:
  
Application ID:XXXXXX-XXXX-4F8A-XXXXX-XXXXXD5BE6
API key:XXXXXX-4A7B-XXXXX-81C9-XXXXXE58623D
API type:Isolate/Restore endpoint connections
Communication time-out:120 S.

I have tried the following scripts and have not achieved positive results.

 

let

GetJson = Web.Contents("https://mydomain.co.uk/api/token",
[
Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
Content = Text.ToBinary("grant_type=password&username=" &Username&"&password="&Password&"&clienttype=User")
]
),
FormatAsJson = Json.Document(GetJson),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(FormatAsJson),
access_token = #"Converted to Table"{0}[Value]
in
access_token
let 
    //URLs
    api_url = "", //Insert your API endpoint
    token_url  ="", //Insert your token URL
 
    //Client credentials
    client_credentials = "grant_type=" &grant_type& "&username=" &username& "&password="&password&"&clienttype=User",
 
    //Get JSON Web Token via API
    EncodedCredentials = "Basic "& Binary.ToText(Text.ToBinary(client_id & ":" & client_secret), BinaryEncoding.Base64),
    Token_Response = Web.Contents(token_url, [Headers=
        [Authorization=EncodedCredentials, #"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"], 
        Content=Text.ToBinary(client_credentials)]),
 
    //Get Access Token and Token Type
    FormatAsJson = Json.Document(Token_Response),
    TypeToken =  FormatAsJson[token_type],
    AccessToken = FormatAsJson[access_token],
 
    //Format Token
    AccessTokenHeader = TypeToken & " " & AccessToken,
 
    //Get Data
    GetJsonQueryAPI = Csv.Document(Web.Contents(api_url, [Headers=[Authorization=AccessTokenHeader]]),[Delimiter=";",
    Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])   
in
    GetJsonQueryAPI

 

 

I am grateful for any help.

Troubleshoot it step by step.  First make sure that you can reliably get a bearer token.  Then check the token at jwt.io to make sure it has the right scope.  Only then continue with your attempt to retrieve data.
