Good afternoon community,
I'm trying to connect from Power BI Desktop to JIRA Cloud, in order to get a list of issues of a particular project, but I'm having a big headeache with the API call, as it's not working at all, although I've tried several suggestions from the community.
I would like to avoid using a pre-built connector from the Power BI Service marketplace, as I would rather like to build my own connection to learn how it works.
When I use the following URL in the web browser I get results:
But if I try the same URL using the power bi web source or odata feed source, i constantly get the following error:
Could someone help me out?
Thanks and regards

Here is a snippet of an M code we have been using to pull data from the Jira REST API
I assume you already got the personal access token from the Jira website?
let
// Define the API endpoint to get issues assigned to a project
url = "https://###JIRA API URL###/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project="&Project_key_2&"&maxResults="&max_results,
// Define the personal access token
token = #"Access Token",
// Define the headers with the personal access token
headers = [
#"Authorization"="Bearer " & token,
#"Accept"="application/json"
],
options = [
Headers=headers
],
// Make the API call and retrieve the response
response = Web.Contents(url, options),
// Convert the response to a table
json = Json.Document(response),
// Convert the response to a table
issues = json[issues],
#"In Tabelle konvertiert" = Table.FromList(issues, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"In Tabelle konvertiert"
Hi, I found solution that might be interesting for you. Here is a script that integrates Power Bi into Jira: https://vidi-corp.com/how-to-connect-jira-to-power-bi/
Most likely is the way you are doing the Authorization part.
Be sure that under "HTTP request headers parameters". In the box at the left you have "Authorization". And on the left you have "Basic encoded_str", make sure there is a space. The enconded_str can be generated encoding "your_email:jira_token" with base64.
Here is a blog post detailing how to achieve this: post-export-your-jira-issues-to-powerbi-without-extra-tools
