Unable to connect to Bridgeapp

Basically, Bridgeapp is a online learning management system. I am trying to develop a report and trying to connect Bridgeapp API from PowerBI but I am having issues when connecting to it. I have tried multiple datasource ways (Basic, windows) in Web datasource type in Get Data but as shown in the below picture it supports only anonymous credentials. I got stuck on the next Navigator page for the last couple of hours. Can someone let me know if you have already connected PowerBI to Bridgeapp or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks.  

 

The full documentation for the API can be found at this URL:  https://docs.bridgeapp.com/doc/api/html/index.html

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to your description, the new version of Web Connector (currently available in Power BI Desktop) automatically creates a Web.browser content query. Such queries currently only support anonymous authentication. In other words, the new Web Connector cannot be used to connect to sources that require non-anonymous authentication. This restriction applies to the Web.browser content feature and is independent of the host environment.

refer to below troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting the Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

 

In addition, for such web data sources, you can refer to the following blog for more information.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry
