Issues using Rest API - web.browsercontents currently supports only anonymous credentials
Hello, I'm attempting to import data from the Telenor API (https://serviceportal.telenorconnexion.com). I've taken advice from previous posts, including
1) Choose Get Data -> Web -> Advanced
2) enter HTTP request parameters (see snapshot)
3) Connect Anonymous: the previous instructions I've searched says to use this. If I try to use any of the other methods I get the web.browsercontents currently supports only anonymous credentials
Everything works to this point. However, the API call returns nothing (see below). actually, bsased on the web view, it points me to the same log in page as I'd see if I tried to access the web address that I have entered (URL) via the web (see below - Redirecting to Login Page).
With seemingly nowhere available to enter any login credentials, how do I get past this point so that I can access the tables/information available in the subject API?
Any help appreciated, thank you in advance.
I am not familiar with the Telenor API, but what you have is a URL. You could just get data from web to import data?
Regarding to REST API you could take a look at the solution in this post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Using-a-REST-API-as-a-data-source/td-p/50400

Does Power BI have any ability to interact w/ SOAP API's?
