Hi @RohitClouds 

  1. Go to File/Options and Settings/Data source settings
  2. Select your datasource and click Edit Permissions then Edit Credentials
  3. Select Anonymous and try again

Thank you for your reply othy_bi. I am calling an API and we have api credentials for that I am not able to call anonymously.

Do you have any other ideas?

Change your source row as below and try again

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,[          
     Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],
     Content = Text.ToBinary(body) 
    ])),

Did it work ?  ‌‌👍 A kudos would be appreciated 📢 Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge
