Web data source Advanced Settings - missing HTTP request header parameters

Hi,

 

I am attempting to set up a web API in PowerBI desktop. Using the Web connector, I got into advanced and expect to see 'Authorization' underneath HTTP request header parameters, however this is not here. Whats up with that? Articles online show this as an available valuePicture1.png

Hey @kr21 ,

 

the list are just proposals of commonly used header parameters. If you need another one like "Authorization" you can just type that in and give it a value.

Like this you are not limited for certain parameters.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
