Web.Contents Internal Server Error

I am trying to connect to an API through the Web connector. The connection is working, but when I try to refresh I do get an error

 

'Web.Contents kan de inhoud niet ophalen van 'xxxxxxxxxx' (500): Internal Server Error.

 

When I try the URL in a browser the data is shown, so the URL is working, also in the Power Query editor the data is shown.

So why do I get this error?

Hi @PeterH1970 ,

 

Could you please tell us which data source would you like to connect to?

 

There are some similar cases about SharePoint folder data source you may refer to :

Hi v-xicai,

I am using the Web data source and just filling in the url of the REST API. As I mentioned this URL is working in a browser, and also when I created the data source, but with refreshing I got the error.

Anyone a solution for this?
