Hi Guys,
after several hours spend in trying getting a API connected with power BI i resigned.
My problem is: I've got an API prom PLACETEL https://www.placetel.de/hilfe/telefonanlage/api-dokumentation?_ga=1.205622291.1243730569.1472543058
unfortunately only in German.
I guess the Problem is that power BI is normaly using the GET method. The API needs POST method. When I try connecting through "get Data > WEB > "https://api.placetel.de/test" > typing the API Key and Basic credentials" I get the error "A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is Provided"
Is there anyone out there who knows how to handle this issue?
BTW: Same problem on Excel.
Thnaks
