Connecting Power BI to SOAP or REST Web Service
Hi,
I have a new data source that i need to get into Power BI. The data source is Quinyx. Quinyx offers
1. SOAP Web Service for integrations:
https://quinyx.helpdocs.io/l/en/article/5f8w8ui90b-2-19-wsdl-find-employee
2. REST Web Service for integrations:
https://quinyx.helpdocs.io/l/en/article/f78bdrw4pj-rest-api-intro
However, I'm unable to recognize if either of these is supported by Power BI? Could someone direct me to the correct "route" in Power BI to get started with this? For example, should i be looking at REST Web Services and try to connect Power Query "From Web" and type an URL there...?
Any help and guidance is appreciated. I am new to this type of data connection in Power BI.
Thank you!

If this post helped, please consider accepting it as the solution.My company will want to avoid using smaller (untrusted) services for this. This link does however have ODBC guidance for Power BI at the end, but I'm unable to create a DNS data service for this. Quite simply I can't find the correct place for setting it up, despite trying to apply Microsofts own guidance: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/paginated-reports-odbc-support
Any ideas on how to proceed without using additional software?
Hi CarlsBerg999
This link here might be able to help you with setting up the DNS. Along with the documentation you sent this is the only way I've found that may be able to help you achieve what you are looking for. Other users may know a bit more than I do though.
