Power BI connection issue with Decipher through API

Hi, Anonymous 

I think header has a typo, encoding= instead of charset=. In power bi, OData Connector, it relies on the API’s Content-Type header to parse the response. Try append $format=application/xml;charset=utf-8 to the URL to force the correct format, If you prefer the OData connector.

You could also, bypass the default OData connector and use the Web Connector instead to manually parse the XML. 

First fetch the raw response as binary (ignoring the Content-Type header), then convert the binary to Text using UTF-8 encoding and then parse the text as XML. Here is an example (Power Query):

 let 
     // Fetch the raw response as binary (ignoring the Content-Type header) 
     Source = 
  Web.Contents("https://api.decipher.com/your-endpoint", [Headers[Accept="application/xml"]]),
 
     // Convert the binary response to text using UTF-8 encoding 
     ResponseText = Text.FromBinary(Source, TextEncoding.Utf8), 

    // Parse the text as XML 
    ParsedXml = Xml.Tables(ResponseText) 

in 
    ParsedXml 

If the API requires authentication or other headers (e.g., API keys), add them to the Web.Contents function:

 Source = Web.Contents( 
     "https://api.decipher.com/your-endpoint", 
     [
        Headers = [ 
             Accept = "application/xml", 
             Authorization = "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" 
        ] 
     ] 
),
