powerbi api data manually refresh succeed but auto refresh failed

Hey there,

 

There is one table in Power bi read data via http api, I got the error returning as access unauthorized from auto refresh everyday.

1. I use postman to pull data using this link, which is working. 

2. this link is working well in power bi desk top.

3. After published, if I manully refresh it, all good. and gate way connection is working successful.

 

The only error is happening on auto refresh, which I set in data source -settings. Anyone have idea how to solve?

The error message states "Invalid connection credentials".  Update the credentials in the semantic model settings page on the Power BI Service.

actually I have tried many times otherwise manual refresh won't work. The issue is auto refresh still failed everyday but manual refresh works.

 

I see the same issue with the Power BI REST API custom connector. It started about a month ago.

 

If you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi
Otherwise you can raise an issue at https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues .

its horrorable to use this as no exactly what errors you are experiencing can choose.
