Hello,
I'm trying to get an access token through an API call, POST method. I´ve tried many ways but I cant manage to accomplish that. Basically I've tried two different codes that lead me to different errors as follow:
let
url = "https://xxxxx",
body = "{""email"": ""xx@xx.xom"", ""password"": ""xxx123""}",
Data= Web.Contents(url,[Content=Text.ToBinary(body),Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json"]]),
DataRecord = Json.Document(Data),
Source=DataRecord
in
Source
The first piece of code brings me the following message:
Web.Contents with the Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously.
let
url = "https://xxxxxxx",
body = "{""email"": ""xxx@xx.com"", ""password"": ""xxx123""}",
Parsed_JSON = Json.Document(body),
BuildQueryString = Uri.BuildQueryString(Parsed_JSON),
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url))
in
Source
And the second one, this:
Web.Contents could not get the content of https://xxxxxxx : (405): Method Not Allowed.
I've been looking up everywhere but haven´t been able to find a solution. Thank you!
