Problem in Update Datasource Power BI REST API Call
I found the answer. For using WIndows credentials, first the credentials need to be encrypted to a credential string.
The python example is given here - https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-Developer-Samples/tree/master/Python/Encrypt%20credentials
I see. This means that with "credentialtype" Windows we are not allow to use the format above. Did you try with Basic Credentials? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/update-datasource#basic-credentials-example
Anonymous Yes I did. I tried various combinations too, it didn't work. But I learnt that we have to encrypt the Windows Username and password into a single string and use that as credential. So I am now trying to find the way to do that encryption in Python. (I made a new question)
