      Hi KoustavPurkiat,

       

      Firstly, are we talking about this loopback API?

      Secondly, the "Access Token" should be generated by the Loopback API. It could be something we can't do in Power BI. Am I right?

       

      Best Regards,

      Dale

        Hi Dale,

         

        Exactly, this Access token is getting generated in Loopback API. Inbackend there are some code is running where authentication is given as Bearer token.

         

        Thanks,
