Hi, 

My API connection works well in Postman, but i was not able to establish/authenticate the connection in PowerBI. 

I tried, Web option and Advance editor. Anyhow, i am new to the API side, so not sure what went wrong. Here below i shared some screenshots, Please support
Request provides the response in Postman

Hi @Peter_Jeyaraj_I ,

 

According to your description, to call this api in Power BI, you need to create an application in the Power BI Developer's Portal. This application provides reusable client ID and client key with which we can generate the embedded token required for the REST API.  link

Follow the steps in the following blog to test again.

 First time exploring this API, so not sure whether i am following the right steps. If possible, could you please share the step by step process for API authentication in PowerBI.. It would be great help for me. 

It works now by using the token number generated from postman. hope I can able to proceed further. will come back if i stuck again
