Data Source from the Web - API

‎07-13-2023 08:28 PM

HI,

Having issues loading an API into Power BI.

 

I am using the data source "From Web"

 

My Api looks like this -

https://api.websupervisor.net/v1.1/myname/units/genset91ac6e885c474a67bb55663bf2bda8c0/values

 

I have an authorization String (bearer xxxxxxxxxxxx) and a Comap-Key (Api Key).

 

I have added the URL above into the URL Parts, added both Authorization and Comap-Key to the HTTP request header parameters.

 

Getting this message -

 

Unable to connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details "The 'Authorisation' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. 

These hearders can be used with all authentication types: Accept, accept-Charset, accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Range, Referer"

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks Mark

Clear the data source credentials for that data source, and then when asked to authenticate choose anonymous.
