I'm having difficulty making Web.Contents work. I think anyone can get a key here: https://api.data.gov/signup
Power BI keeps throwing this error. Has anyone solved this? I didn't find anything helpful in other posts. ty

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.data.gov/ed/collegescorecard/v1/schools?id=100663&apikey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
[Query=[apikey=" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]]))
in

Hope this helps.
