Hi Anonymous 

 

the domain you have listed is a sub-domain of your company, it's not actually on GitHub. So using the GitHub connector in PBI will not work as it is trying to connect to a repository that is located on the GitHub domain e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/

 

So you either need to use Get data -> Web to connect to your github.companyname.com site or if you have a repository on GitHub, connect to that.

    Thanks for the reply PhilipTreacy ,

     

    I tried the way you mentioned but its not returning the expected data; only showing HTML Code, Displayed text.

    Is there any other way of doing it.

      Hi Anonymous 

       

      What exactly did you try?  Are you providing Authentication?  If so, how?  Did you use a GET or POST request?

       

      Are you trying to connect to a subdomain of your company site or an actual GitHub repository?

       

      Please post your code and the response you are getting.  Without these it's very difficult to help you.

       

      Regards

        I tried the same way you mentioned,
        Get data - web - github.xxx.com (xxx is my companies name) gitbhub URL, It pop up that only Anonymous access is possible & it return HTML code which doesnot have anything.

        what am I missing here.
