I am trying to get powerBi to pull data from:
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/
I have been going over all the api documentation and reviewing powerbi support forums and I cannot get powerbi to pull the JSON
The supplier have given me the API Key, but I get the following error: “A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided”
BELOW ARE THE INFORMATION FROM SUPPLIER
Connecting to the API The 5 services are hosted at:
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/Users.svc
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/Locations.svc
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/Devices.svc
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/Sessions.svc
https://api.wifisensorcloud.com/Lookups.svc
Connections using any protocol other than https (such as http) will be rejected. Requests for data should use the GET method with parameters supplied in a query string whereas data submissions/updates should use the POST method with parameters supplied in a JSON object. Examples of each of these methods are on the next pages.
Hi @aliphonse80
Sorry I'm not familar with JQuery AJAX GET method so I'm not sure how to pass the key/value pairs in the "data" parameter to a Get request. Maybe you can try something like below for a Get request to the API:
If you have a key for authentication, it may need to be passed in the request header of a Get request.
