Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, the refresh scheudle was set on the datasets.
The code looks like: Source = Json.Documents(Web.Contents( "In there, It's just the urls that calls the API for data")).
Currently, there is no gateway set. Is this the issue?

You should be able to see the refresh history on the dataset, what does that look like? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-data#:~:text=You%20can%20find%20a%20link,datasets%20in%20a%20centralized%20way. - V-lianl-msft6 years ago

Hi powerbbbuuuuu ,
1. Install the on premises gateway
2.Use the on-premises data gateway app
3. When configuring the source, use "Anonymous credentials" AND mark "Skip test connection"Best Regards,
