PowerBI Connection to Synergi life API

[Peter_Jeyaraj_I]

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

One of the option i tried. Apart from below i tried, Basic option and entered the APIKey as a username and the API option.

Nothing works. 

Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks in advance

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.

If the problem is still not resolved, please point it out and provide related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your feedback.

Best Regards,
Henry

Getting below msg, when i try to get data via PowerBI.
