PBI not authenticating API but working fine with postman

"Posting Again"
Hi guys, I am trying to access an API in PBI but getting authentication error. Same API is working fine in postman and returning token. Please can anyone help to solve the issue.

API URL working in postman - https://ClientID:ClientSecret@URL/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials

Authentication Type - No Auth
Response from postman:

"access_token": "*********"

 "token_type": "bearer",

 "expires_in": 3599

Error in PBI:

 Error

Thanks @v-yanjiang-msft for the reply. I tried after clearing permissions but still not working. It's again same authentication error. I don't know why it's working in postman and not in PBI.

Hi @pankumar ,

This maybe a permission/authentication error. When you ever connect to  your data source in an unauthorized account, the corresponding credential would be created. You may need to change credential,  go to “File –> Options and Settings –> Data Source Settings”, under “Global permissions”, select old data source connections and click on Edit permission in Power BI Desktop, then connect to it and check if it is successful.
