Trying to pull data from a web service to our dashboards but I only have the API details

[olimilo]

I was given the following items (details redacted) but I'm not quite sure where to start with this. Can Power BI use an external API to pull data from a web service? If so, how can I use the details given to me below? Is it supposed to be some sort of connection string? I don't have any experience with Azure and only have very basic knowledge of SQL so I'm not quite sure where to start.

Is there anything else I have to ask our service partner when trying to connect to their servers for this?

PUT {sitename}

User-Agent: {application name goes here}

Accept: application/{xxxx}+json

Content-Type: application/json

Authorization: Bearer {token goes here}

I recommend that you converse with @ImkeF

Hi @olimilo ,

you put the necessary parameters into the header like so: 

Web.Contents("YourURL", [Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxx", Accept="application/json".....]])

Hi @Greg_Deckler 

Thank you!

Hi  @ImkeF ,

It's asking me for a UserAgent. I'm not sure what to enter in this field. It should be Power BI right?

Hi @olimilo ,

I thought you had that already (according to your first post)

This is sth that your API provider has to tell you.
