I have a RestAPI that returns data but requires a GET to some endpoints and a POST to others. Can PowerBI send HTTP POST to a Web Data or OData data source?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for the link! Is there anywhere to raise feature requests for PowerBI. Obstensibly one would think we should be able to do this within the web connector UI natively?
Hi @shocko ,
You mean changing the HTTP request method in the UI interface of the web connector?

Yes, there does not appear to be an option to set method to POST here.
Yes, you can force an HTTP post by using the Content parameter of Web.Contents, please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/web-contents
Good luck,
