Connecting to Dynatrace API using a API token details

[Rejaul84]

Hi

I am trying to connect to the following https://exampleEnviornment.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/metrics/query Dynatrace API

I am using an API token I get the below error message. I am very new to Power BI, so there is something that I have done incorrectly but not sure what? Any step by step guide will help

"The 'Authorization' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content-Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Range, Referer"

Used the following to help me get the API URL https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/metric-v2/get-all-metrics

Hi  @Rejaul84 ,

According to research, this error comes from the API you are trying to connect to, and your data source may stop trying to log in "anonymous" and has been set to "basic".

You can reset the type by steps as below.

File>Options and settings>Data source settings.

Then edit the permission to reset the type. The credential type should look like as below.

So It was sort of user error that I was able to figure out.

in the advance tab where you add in the API token I needed to add in Api-Token before it.
