Web API Anonymous access

[Anonymous]

I am trying to connect to a Web API but am getting the error message

We couldn't authenticate wtih the credentials provided please try again and 

Use anonymous access for this Web content

I have gone into my data source settings and selected anonmous as suggested in other posts.

let
url = "https://website.auth0.com/oauth/token",

body = "{ ""client_id"": "xxxxx",
""username"": """ & Username_Parameter & """,
""password"": """ & Password_Parameter & """,
some other details
}",

tokenResponse = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [RelativePath="/oauth/token", Content = Text.ToBinary(body) ])),
AccessToken = tokenResponse[access_token],
AccessTokenHeader = "Bearer " & AccessToken
in
AccessTokenHeader

Any help would be appreciated as I have tried several different options. My query isnot working at the tokenResponse = Json line

Hi @Anonymous ,

Depending on the error message you provided, this could be a permission/authentication error or an expired token. When you connect to a web data source from an unauthorized account, the appropriate credentials are created.

You can try deleting the previously created credential information and reconfiguring it at the screenshot location below, then connect to it and check if it succeeds.

Or refer to below blog:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry
