Creating a Gateway for Web with an API Key

Hi,

 

I have created a connection to various api using Power BI desktop and can create reports and refresh these are I would expect.

 

I have now published this to Power BI and I'm unable to refresh or schedule a refresh as there is no gateway set up.

 

How do I create a gateway for use with an API?

 

The API connects using an API Key as the "Authorization" with the "Accept" and "ContentType" being set as application/xml (I did try json but this did not work).

 

Any help appreciated.

If you are only using RESTful web service APIs as your data source, you should not need a gateway

You didn't include the error, so it is hard to say what the cause of the issue would be

Thanks,
