Hi @revansh,

I am not fimilar with OData. But based on my research, the Web site you were trying to connect via OData seems not support OData service. Go to Home page -> Developers -> APIs -> API Documentation. I would suggest you contact the developers at this page: https://www.data.gov/contact#question to confirm if it supports OData Feed or not.

Best regards,
Yuliana Gu

what is the exact url?

Try testing out the following sample OData feed:

http://services.odata.org/northwind/northwind.svc/

Hi dkay84_PowerBI,

                          This is the exact url: https://www.data.gov/

But i trying to get the URL to connect using ODATA FEED.

I am able to connect to http://services.odata.org/northwind/northwind.svc/.

Thanks

Well https://www.data.gov/ is not an Odata feed, so that is why you cannot connect to it.

I haven't worked directly with data.gov but I know Quandl has an odata connector and they have tons of government data sets.

EDIT: The Quandl odata connector is actually 3rd party.  My mistake.
