Connecting Web API using Postman (collection and Environment)

Question

Hello All,&nbsp;I have a post man collection that is rather large. It calls on a postman enviornment for all information I believe should be kept secure (such as API key, bearer token, ect). I tried to follow the microsoft instructions to create a custom connector but it doesn't work as I would hope. I think I will need to go through and add the values that were being called from the enviornment into each "Get" or "Post" function. I am new to API and would appreciate any help o nhow to use my API calls. Is there an easy way to make a call using my "GET" function for all employees and then having that table in PowerBI ready to use?&nbsp;When I try to connect directly to any of my web API calls using the WEB option on PowerBI I always recieve the error "Authentication" must be used anonymously.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help on how to use a WEB API would be amazing.&nbsp;Thank you.

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
You need to get access token befor you call the REST API. That is&nbsp;"Authentication".
