REST URL as a data source

[cclunk]

Allow a user to specify a REST URL as a data source.

You can connect to REST APIs using Power BI Desktop and the "Web" connector.

I'd love to see both SOAP and REST URL's as datasources. I was hoping it would behave similar to Visual Studio when you add a new “web reference” for a SOAP WSDL. You give it the URL for a SOAP or REST webservice, have it display a list of services/methods at that address. Then select a service to call, and provide a few parameters, so that Power BI can make the call and pull back the data.

It would be very useful to have the SOAP API to be used as a Datasource.

How does this work for openauth2 services? Is this supported yet?

[lmarin]

Have the same need as Mike - OAuth 2 service calls, GET and POST.

I cant find the Rest Api Web connector in the PowerBI online. Could someone tell me where to find it?
