Connect to Bamboo's REST API- Error"Web API key can only be specified when API key name is provided"
Does anyone have any more guidance on how to get data through BambooHR's API into PowerBI? I don't have much experience using API requests, so I feel lost. I'm just looking to pull in a table of open positions in BambooHR and maybe also new/current employee details.

Hello Domenick
normaly these sites have a help for developers where the specify the APIs available and how they work. Normaly different APIs are available, depending on witch data you need to get. And all of these APIs have different access modes and answers (that you need to do loops on the data, because normaly APIs are passing limited datasets).
Hope this helps a bit

Yes, Jimmy801, I've found the documentation here, but it feels like there's a lot missing. They give basic guidelines about API calls, but I don't know all the paths I would need to pull the data I want.

Hello Domenick
the technical implementation description you can find here
https://documentation.bamboohr.com/reference
I've created once a API. You can check it here, to get an idea how it could work
Hope this helps a bit
