Connect to web APO in Power BI Desktop - HTTP request header parameters

I am trying to connect to Toggl's API using the Power BI web connector advanced settings. I'm not very familiar with headers, etc...   Toggl docs - mention this: You can authenticate in the reports...

Eric_Zhang - I've got the API token (I don't know how to mask it) - I think part of my problem is I've never done anything quite like this before. So I don't necessarily have a full of understanding of how it works in the first place.

 

I can't seem to find any detailed documentation on Power BI's advanced settings for the Web connector either.

Can you send it via a private message? I am about to test it in Postman, as McCow mentioned.

    Eric_Zhang McCow - ok - I got a URL working in Postman. :)  (So excited!)

     

    I've been able to load a could of requests into PowerBI as well. However - I've got to work around a permissions issue. I'm admin within the workspace - but I can't access the report items I need or the list of users.

     

    THANK YOU for your assistance in getting started!!
