    Hi shuhn1229 ,

    Please try concatenate the type of authorization (e.g., "Basic") with the parameter that contains your password or token.

    let
        Var1 = "YourPasswordOrTokenHere", // Replace with your actual password or token
        AuthorizationHeader = "Basic " & Var1,
        url = "https://url.com",
        body = "{""id"": ""0001"", ""variables"":  {""variable"":  ""001""}}",
        Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [
            Headers = [#"Authorization"=AuthorizationHeader, #"Content-Type"="application/json"],
            Content = Text.ToBinary(body)
        ]))
    in
        Source

    Please note that if you're using Bearer token authentication, the header should be prefixed with "Bearer" instead of "Basic".

    Best Regards,
    Gao
