Connect to Tick RESTful web API

[ruiz07]

Hi everyone, I don't have any experience connecting Power BI to Web API's. The platform in questions is called Tick and this is the documentation for the Tick API: https://github.com/tick/tick-api.

I know I must select the Web connector and then enter the URL and then Key. But when I enter in the key (what I think is the key), I get an error message: "A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided."

Can someone guide me through what I should be entering as the URL & Key? Thanks in advance!

@ruiz07 , I think you need token-based authentication, explained here
