Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.To help you further, could you please share a bit more detail about your setup? This will allow us to better diagnose the root cause and provide the most suitable guidance.
- Are you using Web.Contents() in Power Query, or connecting through a custom connector or another method?
- What kind of authentication does the API require?
- Have you set any privacy levels (Organizational/Public/Private) in Power BI Desktop for this data source?
- Are you open to using Azure Function / Power Automate or pushing the API response to a supported source like SharePoint/Blob Storage if direct refresh proves unsupported?
Once we have this information, we’ll be in a much better position to suggest the right solution.
Looking forward to your response.
Best Regards,
