Web Table Inference

‎08-25-2022 05:59 AM

Dear Forum,

 

Regarding the Web Table Inference feature on the Web Connector on the desktop.

 

Microsoft Dcoumentation states:

The new version of the Web connector (currently available in Power BI Desktop) automatically creates a Web.BrowserContents query. Such queries currently only support anonymous authentication. 

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

Do we know if there are any plans to have this support authentications.

 

I need to grab some data from a internal web-based tool that sits behind authentication and uses javascript so can't use a scraping solution.
