How to import data from password protected website ?

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to import data into power BI from a password protected website ? If yes, let me know.

 

Connecting to public url is easy into power bi using web option. In the basic option, I see username and password to connect with the data. But it does not work. Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

    Dear Rahul_SC,

     

    We are also using the searates site but not using the login details.

    Better if you can do using their API.

     

    Hope this helps

    Hi mussaenda ,

     

    Thanks for responding. I used this site for just an example. Let's say we have any other website subscribtion for which I always login by username and password that data I want to import in power bi.

     

    any help for this ?

    Importing data from a password-protected website into Power BI is indeed possible using the web connector.
    If you're encountering issues with the basic authentication method, you might explore other options like OAuth2 or API-based connections if the website provides those alternatives
