Fetch data from Auth2.0 API data source

Hello,

 

I am trying to add a new Auth2.0 API datasouce to my BI report, however I keep getting an error message says "We encountered an erro while trying to connect" "Details: "Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://aisegypt.powerschool.com/ws/schema/query/com.esol.essamx.googleworkspace.students/' (405): "

 

Attached some screenshots from the error and configuration I am using.

 

Could you please advise ?

I figured out by passing a blank content. 😀

Content = Text.ToBinary("")

Thanks for everyone.

Specifying POST won't help you .  You need to provide a payload to switch the request from GET to POST.

 

405 Method Not Allowed

 

Which method does your API expect?

It does expect POST method. kindly find belowall the details for preload. 

 

POST https://YOURSERVER/ws/schema/query/com.mycompany.mydivision.student.studentnumber
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
