Hi jaryszek ,
Thanks for the update and the video reference!
The setup in the video works fine in Power BI Desktop, but the Service is a bit stricter when it comes to scheduled refresh. It expects the base URL to be static and predictable. To get around this, try updating your connector so that the baseUrl is fixed:
https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Just replace octocat with your GitHub username or org. Then you can build the rest of the path using RelativePath like below:
RelativePath = repositoryName & "/contents/" & folderPath.
Also,double check that your privacy level is set to Public or Organizational, and take a look at the refresh history in case it gives more clues.
If this resolves your query,consider accept it as solution.

Hi jaryszek ,
Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Fabric Community Forum!
The issue likely comes from using dynamic values like repositoryName and folderPath directly in the URL, which makes the path non-static. Power BI needs the path to be predictable at design time. Also, make sure you have added a TestConnection function at the top level of your connector , and ideally keep the base URL static while passing variables as query parameters instead.
Please refer the documents here:

If this solution meets your requirement,consider marking it as solution.
