Pull data from a REST API Authentication
Hi surfersamu,
I have tested in Power BI desktop using the connection information you provided, there is no error throws out. After you fill the connection information like the image you provided and click OK button, please use Anonymous authentication, as you already provide the authorization key.
You can download the attached pbix file to have a look. By the way, here are some samples of calling API to get data in Power BI:
Calling REST APIs and Parsing JSON made simple with Power BI
Get Data from Twitter API with Power Query

I don't think this is a Power BI issue; the details that are returned are most likely from the API for ultipro.com. You can try connecting with a tool like Postman to verify that the issue is in the API information. If you're able to connect via Postman, then it is something isolated to Power BI.
You are right. I tried on postman and got nothing. I have started a support ticket with them.
Assuming the API wasn't giving me an error. Is that the right way to make a HTTP GET Request? Sorry I'm new to REST APIs.
