Web access to API not working

Hey Folks,

 

quick one. I've been connecting to an API and pulling the data into Power BI. I connect via the get data from web option and setting it up like this:

Config for connecting the APIConfig for connecting the API

It's been working fine and have managed to connect multiple tables to it until yesterday.

Now I get this error,

Error resultError result

I'm keen for any suggestions.

 

I'm running power BI desktop Version: 2.106.582.0 64-bit (June 2022)
