Unable to send request body using Web data source for REST API

[belurrashmi]

Hi ,

I am not able to connect to an API by sending request body.

When I covert it into Power BI query format 

let
body="items.find({""repo"" : ""maven-prereleases-local""},{""@PL000003_RELEASE"" : {""$match"" : ""*17*""}}).include(""repo"",""path"",""name"",""created"",""updated"",""@PL000003_RELEASE"")",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://artifactory.xyz.com/api/search/aql", [Content=Text.ToBinary(body)]))

in
Source

I am getting error as

DataSource.Error: Web.Contents with the Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously.
Details:
DataSourceKind=Web
DataSourcePath=https://artifactory.xyz.com/api/search/aql

If Connect anonymously then my api will fail authentication.

Is there a problem with sending request body with api?

What kind of that authentication?

Power Query would definitely not pop up any login window, you shall integrate authentication in the Power Query as well. See a twitter demo.

@Eric_Zhang

I am using basic authentication

I also tried using this way no success, 

let
body="items.find({""repo"" : ""maven-prereleases-local""},{""@PL000003_RELEASE"" : {""$match"" : ""*17*""}}).include(""repo"",""path"",""name"",""created"",""updated"",""@PL000003_RELEASE"")",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://artifactory.xyz.com/api/search/aql", [Headers=[Authorization="(base64-encoded Username:PWd)"],Content=Text.ToBinary(body)]))
