Data Load with Web

Hi There

 

I would like to read out some employee data with Power BI

 

I am doing this with a API Request using Web.

jonasdedual_SP_0-1717056575231.png

This works fine. However my issue is, that i have to send the API key in the header and it will show in clear text in the querry editor. If anyone gets the file accidently or is able to download the pbix file accidently, he will be able to read out the api key.

 

Is there any method to hide the api key?

 

kind regards

Jonas

@jonasdedual_SP , One should share reports using the power bi service. Power bi Desktop file is for development.
