Request: Authenticated POST to REST Web service as a data source within PowerBI Desktop

‎03-10-2023 10:28 AM

We are trying to find out how to user PowerBI desktop to use a POST method with a username and password in order to connect to a web service as our data source.  First question: Is this even supported with PowerBI desktop as of March 2023?  Second Question: We are struggling to find examples or tutorials on how to do this...the articles found don't exactly match the product UI or our scenario.

The documentation for Web.Contents has an example for that.
