Dynamic Dataset refresh - Dnyamic content from Stripe API

I'm querying the Stripe API that forces me to have a dynamic content for their endpoint to get the data I need. I managed to find a way doing this by querying another table (checkout sessions), but this created an issue in terms that PowerBI won't automatically refresh if there's dynamic content. Is there a fix for this? On desktop I can simply change privacy levels, but that doesn't seem an option for PowerBI web server:

 

 

 

 

let
    Source1 = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions")),
    Source2 = Table.TransformColumns(sessions, {"data.id", each Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions/" & _ & "/line_items")), type any}),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromRecords({Source1}),
    #"Expanded data" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Converted to Table", "data"),
    #"Expanded data1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded data", "data", {"id", "object", "after_expiration", "allow_promotion_codes", "amount_subtotal", "amount_total", "automatic_tax", "billing_address_collection", "cancel_url", "client_reference_id", "consent", "consent_collection", "created", "currency", "currency_conversion", "custom_fields", "custom_text", "customer", "customer_creation", "customer_details", "customer_email", "expires_at", "invoice", "invoice_creation", "livemode", "locale", "metadata", "mode", "payment_intent", "payment_link", "payment_method_collection", "payment_method_options", "payment_method_types", "payment_status", "phone_number_collection", "recovered_from", "setup_intent", "shipping_address_collection", "shipping_cost", "shipping_details", "shipping_options", "status", "submit_type", "subscription", "success_url", "total_details", "url"}, {"data.id", "data.object", "data.after_expiration", "data.allow_promotion_codes", "data.amount_subtotal", "data.amount_total", "data.automatic_tax", "data.billing_address_collection", "data.cancel_url", "data.client_reference_id", "data.consent", "data.consent_collection", "data.created", "data.currency", "data.currency_conversion", "data.custom_fields", "data.custom_text", "data.customer", "data.customer_creation", "data.customer_details", "data.customer_email", "data.expires_at", "data.invoice", "data.invoice_creation", "data.livemode", "data.locale", "data.metadata", "data.mode", "data.payment_intent", "data.payment_link", "data.payment_method_collection", "data.payment_method_options", "data.payment_method_types", "data.payment_status", "data.phone_number_collection", "data.recovered_from", "data.setup_intent", "data.shipping_address_collection", "data.shipping_cost", "data.shipping_details", "data.shipping_options", "data.status", "data.submit_type", "data.subscription", "data.success_url", "data.total_details", "data.url"}),
