API Data with tokens to PowerBI

[greeshma]

Hi Everyone

I have a API (Autodesk) that needs to connect to PowerBI and refresh frequently, but the API tokens will expire in 1hr.so i need to manually regenate the tokens and pull the data to PowerBI. 
Can anyone helpme how can i generate tokens dynamically and refresh the data.

Hi @greeshma 

Does the Autodesk provide an API for generating the token? If so, you can create another query with Web.Contents  in Power Query to get a token from that API. Then convert this query into a function. In your original query for querying data, you can invoke the function to get a token from the token API directly instead of providing a token string to it.
