API Data with tokens to PowerBI
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.
