I have an API using the following M query to implement an authentication using headers, api key & token.
let
// Define the API URL for data retrieval
apiUrl = "https://app.test.com/MyList",
// Define headers with x-api-key and x-token
headers = [
#"x-api-key" = "your_api_key_value",
#"x-token" = "your_token"
],
// Make the GET request with headers
response = Web.Contents(apiUrl, [Headers=headers]),
jsonResponse = Json.Document(response)
in
jsonResponse
And I want to authenticate anonimously because I user headers and I can not. It keeps asking for authentication. My API also connects with a username and password or with API key. But none of them seem to work. It always keep asking for authentication.
Any clue on the issue or hint for the approach?
Thank you.
Nick
Hi @nf_protogramma ,
Base on your description, it sounds like you're trying to make a web request in Power Query (M language) and encountering issues with the authentication prompt. Please try to set Anonymous authentication and check if it can resolve the problem:
Best Regards
