Hi,
I am trying to fetch data from AWS AppSync Graphql API in power BI . Providing these in headers [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", #"x-api-key"="xyz"]]
let
qContent = "
{
query MyQuery {
get_id{
id
}
}
}",
cContent = Text.Replace(qContent, Character.FromNumber(34), Character.FromNumber(92) & Character.FromNumber(34)),
pContent = "{ ""query"": "& Character.FromNumber(34) & cContent & Character.FromNumber(34) & " }",
bContent = Text.ToBinary(pContent),
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://qeenqrsrivdvfnodt4w2ptgt3y.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql", [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", #"x-api-key"="xyz"],Content=bContent])),
data = Source[data],
get_id = data[get_id],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(get_id, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id"}, {"id"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
The same api url and api key works in Postman but in power bi , I get
DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://qeenqrsrivdvfnodt4w2ptgt3y.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql' (400):
I am using Anonymous Type for credentials.
Does anyone has any idea about this issue?
Have you tried comparing the requests being sent to the endpoint in Postman vs. PBIDesktop using a tool like Fiddler? There must be a difference that's causing the 400 error.
Hi @shreyag12 ,

Hi @Anonymous Thanks for shaing!
I tried changing bContent = Text.ToBinary(pContent), to bContent = Json.FromValue(pContent) as mentioned in Post API Data Source body format issues but still getting the same error.
