Get Access Token for API Rest

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!
