Solved: Web Table Inference

StephenClarke · ‎08-25-2022

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.

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.
