Hi
I'm new to exploring API's and I'm trying to import data from the Akixi API to pull in telephony data. However I'm having a problem trying to get it to connect as I first need to create a service session and then authenticate the session using basic authentication (username / password). Once the session is authenticated, it must be used as JSESSIONID cookies authentication with all requests. The HTTP method is POST.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction so I can at least start trying to pull in data. Below is a link to the Dev portal explaining about the authentication process.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Would you please consider moving this post involving API usage to the Microsoft Power BI Community Developer Forum, where they focus on the following: Custom visual creation, API usage, real-time dashboards, integrating with Power BI, content packs. Basically, everything about extending Power BI.

No problem. I've tried editing but I don't think I can move category. Shall I just do a new post within the Developer section?
