I'm trying to get a refresh token from our API so that I don't have my API login crednetials in the .pbix file and keep getting a "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided" error (see below screenshot)
When I get a new token using my login credentials and use that token to pull data from the API it works totally fine and don't get that error (below screenshot). What am I missing here?
Hi @serazo ,
Here are a few things to check and consider:
Ensure the URL is correct and specifically meant for obtaining refresh tokens.
Ensure that the token you’re trying to refresh hasn’t expired or been revoked.
Verify that the client ID and secret you’re using are correct and have the necessary permissions to request a refresh token.
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao
