Hi
I am struggling to connect to a dataset through API.
A sample PBIX file was provided by the data host however the simple action of switching out the API keys fails connect.
extract here from the advanced editor
let
url = "https://api.workguru.io/api/ClientTokenAuth/Authenticate/api/client/v1/tokenauth",
body = "{ ""ApiKey"": ""YOUR_API_KEY_"", ""Secret"": ""YOUR__API_SECRET"" }",
tokenResponse = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,[Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"], Content = Text.ToBinary(body) ] )),
AccessToken = tokenResponse[accessToken],
AccessTokenHeader = "Bearer " & AccessToken,
data_url = "https://api.workguru.io/api/services/app/ClientPivotReport/GetAllActivityLinesInPeriod?start=01/01/2...",
data_body = "{
""authorization"": """& AccessTokenHeader & """,
""content-type"": ""application/json""
}",
GetGroups = Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
data_url,
[
Headers = Json.Document(data_body)
]
)
),
categories = GetGroups[result],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(categories, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"SourceDocNo", "SourceDocName", "Project", "Source", "Quantity", "Item", "UnitCost", "UnitPrice", "Client", "ClientId", "BillingClient", "Code", "Supplier", "Cost", "Revenue", "Profit", "GP", "Document", "ReportingCategory1", "ReportingCategory2", "OwnerOrManager", "CustomFieldValues", "Region", "ProductCategory", "Date", "Year", "Day", "Month", "Qtr"}, {"SourceDocNo", "SourceDocName", "Project", "Source", "Quantity", "Item", "UnitCost", "UnitPrice", "Client", "ClientId", "BillingClient", "Code", "Supplier", "Cost", "Revenue", "Profit", "GP", "Document", "ReportingCategory1", "ReportingCategory2", "OwnerOrManager", "CustomFieldValues", "Region", "ProductCategory", "Date", "Year", "Day", "Month", "Qtr"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
My ammendment.
body = "{ ""ApiKey"": ""123456789"", ""Secret"": ""123456789"" }",
The error I get is "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again." but I have confirmed the credentials are correct.
Hi @Anonymous
Please check that.
1.The body of getting access token is right, it may be affected by the token.
2.Please make sure your token is not expired, the token often have one-hour lifetime, if the token is expired, you need to get the token again.
and you can refer to the following link.
