Dear Lydia,

 

That won't work work with OAuth 1 which requires a logic in the Web Requests, specifically a new Timestamp and Nonce for every call.

Can you confirm that Refresh works with Web Queries with OAuth 1?

 

Best regards,

    hi Gabriel, have you had the solution yet? I am also planning to connect Power Bi with LivePerson Rest APIs using OAuth 1.0, is this possible?
