Get Data using API
Hello, could anyone tell me, if I can use an API that my manager generate it through his own account to get external data (ODATA Feed).
Yes. Try connecting with postman, restman or any other tool to check if the url and connections from that PC are correct before trying on power bi. Be sure that you request is correct and returning something first.
It's tricky to get the api works.

Super UserIt shouldn't. Can you connect with your computer with another tool? Does that computer has the permission to do it?
Do you mean permession to connect through API?
