Web.Contents failed to get contents from (405):
Hi ,
When trying to connect to an API, i am getting the above error in power bi desktop. Not sure what should be done to get data from the API. I am using basic authentication method. Any suggestion would help.
Thanks,

Hi Anonymous,
The 405 error normally means you are using some 'not allow' methods in these requests, perhaps you can change these parts of definitions in your data connector to fix this issue.
405 Method Not Allowed - HTTP | MDN (mozilla.org)
In addition, can you please share some more detail about the operations? I think they will help us clarify your scenario and troubleshoot.Regards,

Needs more details. Are you calling a POST method where only GET is allowed?
