Power BI Rest API Call

Hi all, 

 

We're trying to use Power BI to make Rest API calls to Yammer.  We can get this to work using Postman, but we're having a difficult time in Power BI by supplying the Client ID and Client Secret to get back the bearer token to use for authentication.  Has anyone done this before?  And if so could you supply a screenshot to your connection?

 

Thanks in advance.

    We could probably ask this in a different way, as the issue we're facing is generic and not specific to Yammer.  We're trying to find out how do we get a bearer token, which has a limited lifespan (few hours), and use that within Power BI? Each time Power BI makes a Rest API call, it would need to get a new token and use that with its next call.  Thanks in advance!
