Rest API to pull data into Power BI

Hi Experts.. using direct query..

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is the scenario. I have a Rest API URL one with parameters and one without parameters.
The Rest API without parameters if I copy and past that URL in google should or Power BI using a C dataConnector show me all the data in the dataset since I have no parameters? Correct.

If I have parameters then in the Rest API then only show me the data based on the parameters? Correct.

The Rest API the one with out the parameters I have defined the parameters in Power BI via query parameters, and this should technically pull only that data? Based on my parameters selection? Correct.

->Reply:

Without meeting the API limitations, it should show all data.


If I have parameters then in the Rest API then only show me the data based on the parameters?

->Reply:

With Parameter wrote in the query, it should show data based on the parameter.

I don't understand this problem, it seems the same one as the second one.
