Error connecting to a web data source

I am trying to connect to a web data source at this location: https://au.finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA/history/

 

I can open this location in the browser no problems, but when I try to connect to it in Power BI Desktop, I get this error:

 

Unable to connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details: "Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://au.finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA/history/' (503): Service Unavailable"

 

There is a history table on that page that I want to connect to. I have connected with this table previously fine but now my report refresh is failing and I can't connect to this web source. 

 

Any help please!

Hi @Asif_Khawaja ,

 

This error typically indicates that the server is temporarily unable to handle the request. It could be due to server overload or maintenance.

Please ensure that the URL is correct and that the web page is accessible.Try a different data connector: If possible, try using ODATA or another data connector to access the web data source.
You may also make sure that there are no network issues or firewalls blocking the connection.

 

Hope it helps!
