    Hi yakkalipavan,

     

    From your description, you already provide the access key in Power Query, but you didn't choose Anonymous authentication for the web data source, so the error throws out.

     

    Please open Data Source Settings, then find the web data source, choose Anonymous like below: 

     

     

    Update: Please mask the actual data source domain name in the screenshot. 

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

Hi, I want to call the POST method of API using windows authentication in power bi.

So I can't set it to Anonymous because API is hosted to use only Windows Authentication.

 

Any suggestion, please
